Impresso 2: Connecting Historical Digitised Newspapers and Radio. A Challenge at the Crossroads of History, User Interfaces and Natural Language Processing

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The Impresso project pioneers the exploration of historical media content across temporal, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. In its initial phase (2017-2020), the project developed a scalable infrastructure for Swiss and Luxembourgish newspapers, featuring a powerful search interface. The second phase, beginning in 2023, expands the focus to connect media archives across languages and modalities, creating a Western European corpus of newspaper and broadcast collections for transnational research on historical media. In this presentation, we introduce Impresso 2 and discuss some of the specific challenges to connecting newspaper and radio.
