Media Monitoring of the Past

Starting in 2023, we will build a Western European corpus, integrate newspaper and radio sources, and enable data-driven transnational historical research.
We thank the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) for their trust and await formal approval by the Luxembourgish Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR).
We are excited and honoured to collaborate with a range of old and new partners.
