We present two datasets, one for the task of toponym recognition and one for the task of toponym disambiguation. The datasets are derived from the "Dataset for Toponym Resolution in Nineteenth-Century English Newspapers" (DOI: https://doi.org/10.23636/r7d4-kw08). The toponym recognition dataset consists of two JSON files (ner_fine_train.json and ner_fine_dev.json), whereas the toponym disambiguation dataset is provided as a TSV file (linking_df_split.tsv).
Newspaper data has been provided by Findmypast Limited from the British Newspaper Archive, a partnership between the British Library and Findmypast (https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/).
