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 St. Helens Examiner. The full digitised newspaper comprises no. 34-2348 (24 May 1879 - 24 Dec.1924) The newspaper continued beyond 1901 but this has not been included in this dataset due to copyright considerations. The period from 1921 � 1924 has yet to be digitised. The digitised page images for 1879 � 1920 are available on the British Newspaper Archive website, https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/ st-helens-examiner The British Newspaper Archive pages images are behind a paywall, but from March 2021 the paywall will be lifted and some of these images will eventually be free to view.
