WEBSITE/ DATASET: C.A. ROMEIN, Entangled Histories: Ordinances of the Low Countries (KB LAB, 2020)


From the KB LAB website:

This special web collection Entangled Histories: Ordinances of the Low Countries is made up of 108 books of ordinances published in the Early Modern Era in the Low Countries (Habsburg Netherlands and the Dutch Republic). All texts included in this dataset were already digitised through the Google Books Project, or through individual digitisation-projects of several libraries. The readability of these digitised books was improved by using Transkribus’ Automatic Text Recognition (OCR – Abbyy FineReader v.11; HTR-models). These HTR-models were manually trained with GroundTruth data, consequently creating fitting models for Dutch Gothic print, Dutch Roman print and French Roman print.
