The Nebraska Digital Newspaper Project and its contractor, iArchives, have created 200,000 full-text digitized pages of 19th and early 20th Century newspapers from selected communities in Nebraska that can be used for text mining by DID research teams. The number of pages will grow over time. Files have been created in three forms: TIFF images, JPEG2000, and PDFs with hidden text. Optical character recognition has been performed on the scanned images, resulting in dirty OCR. Metadata associated with the project is TEI, XML, and METS/ALTO, following the guidelines provided by the Library of Congress for the National Digital Newspaper Program. This will be added to Data Mining Resources Subject Tracer™. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
