This document has been created by AHDS History and is based on information supplied by the depositor SN 5104 - Digital Library of Historical Directories, 1750-1919: Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, 1892-1916 Study Documentation The Digital Library of Historical Directories is an online teaching and research resource produced and owned by the University of Leicester, located at www.historicaldirectories.org. It makes available high quality digitised reproductions of some 600 local and trade directories for England and Wales, for the period 1750-1919. For the purposes of deposit in the UK Data Archive, the collection has been divided into 35 studies on a regional basis. Digitisation involved scanning the hardcopy source to produce a graphic image of each page and then processing those images to generate a machinereadable text file (used on the website as the basis for searches). Both kinds of file have been deposited in the Data Archive. For each directory, the Archive therefore contains (1) a set of page images in the form of monochrome TIFF files, and (2) a single text file resulting from OCR of the TIFFs. In view of the large number of pages processed - totalling over 360,000 - it was impracticable to attempt any checking and correction of the OCR results. The accuracy of the text files is consequently rather variable. The directories contained in the present study are detailed in the following pages. The descriptions have been generated from those on the website and use similar fields, as follows: SOURCE... The title of the original volume. PUBLISHED... Publication details (place, publisher and year). REPOSITORY... The library or archive from which the volume was obtained. VOLUME NOTE... A comment on the volume used for digitisation (where appropriate), e.g. to note any missing pages. DIGITISATION NOTE.. A comment on the digitisation of the volume (where appropriate), e.g. to indicate that the digitised version of a large directory has been divided into two or more parts so as to facilitate online reference. HEADINGS... A series of up to 10 section headings, to outline the main content and structure of the directory. In the website version these also serve as hyperlinks for quick access to the relevant section. CONTENT NOTE... Additional description of the content (where appropriate) FEATURES... An indication of up to 3 features that inputters thought might be of interest to the user, e.g. illustrations. FEATURES NOTE... Additional comment on features such as illustrations (where appropriate).
ID... An ID string for the digitised directory, consisting of a 3-letter repository code followed by numbers indicating the batch in which the directory was processed and the item number within the batch. IMAGE FILES... Details of the number and size of the TIFF image files. The files have automatic sequential filenames assigned by the OCR software, e.g. 0000BH7S.tif, 0000BH7T.tif... TEXT FILE... Name and size of the text file resulting from OCR of the page images.
