Additional information
The 10.5 GB .bz2 file contains page level JSON formatted and OCR derived text. Each file is equivalent to a volume in the collection and the file is named to reflect the identifier and volume of the print work it is taken from. Each JSON file is simply a hash of the page number to the text found on that page.
