The Europeana Cloud project is seeking researchers who are interested in innovative ways of working and researching with historic newspapers.Via the Europeana Newspapers project a corpus of newspapers drawn from the digitised collections of over 20 libraries in Europe has been created. This corpus includes over 10 million pages of OCR'd full text and images, and metadata records relating to several million more issues. Much of the data is in the public domain and available for re-use.[caption id="attachment_320" align="alignright" width="208"] Das Interessante Blatt, 18 September 1919. National Library of Austria.[/caption]&#160;In the context of the Europeana Cloud, developers and human-computer interaction experts now wish to work with digital humanities or social sciences researchers to build services and tools that exploit this data and help answer research questions that cannot practically be researched without the technology. For example:What is the typical sentiment in the reporting of different papers on specific historical events?To which locations are historical protagonists tied in the reporting and how does this evolve over time?&#160;Within the Europeana Cloud project, similar tools have already been built for early modern philosophers and musicologists. If you or your research group is interested in doing the same for historic newspapers, please fill in this short form (10 lines maximum).- See more at: http://pro.europeana.eu/get-involved/projects/project-list/europeana-cloud/europeana-cloud-blog/wanted-historic-newspaper-researchers#sthash.AOZSkyRk.dpufVia http://pro.europeana.eu/get-involved/projects/project-list/europeana-cloud/europeana-cloud-blog/wanted-historic-newspaper-researchers
