Parish Memories with Named Entities

The Parish Memories with Named Entities dataset consists of 366 transcribed texts from the original handwritten collection, the Parish Memories (1758-1761), where each text contains the description of a Portuguese parish. The data consists of a) the transcribed texts, b) the texts annotated with person, location and organisation named entities, c) the list of the extracted entities for each text, and d) a global list with all entities from the collection (all lists have frequency counts).

In total, the collection has 13.757 person mentions, 23.511 location mentions, and 1.684 organisation mentions. The total number of automatically identified mentions is 38.952.
