Additional information
This dataset contains full text and metadata after processing by the Alto2Text pipeline created by the Living with Machines Project. The pipeline took as its input the highly verbose AltoXML files of the same newspaper titles and converted them into the more readable plain text format for the benefit of readers and researchers. It contains plaintext for one year of the Colored News. The full digitised newspaper comprises no.1-9 (4 Aug. - 29 Sept.1855). The digitised page images are available on the British Newspaper Archive website, https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/colored-news The British Newspaper Archive pages images are behind a paywall, but from March 2021 the paywall will be lifted for these titles and eventually all the newspapers we are digitising under the Heritage Made Digital programme.
