资源简介:
This project is a tabular version of the list of new buildings listed in the January 1, 1891 Seattle Post-Intelligencer from the previous year. My friend Curt Fischer and I cleaned up the Library of Congress' OCR of three pages and restructured it in a table.
The transcription proejct is done. However, a future iteration of this table will include the current street names as well as addresses for known structures and wikipedia links for the major buildings that still exist today.
The 1890 date is significant because of the number of buildings replaced by the 1889 Great Fire in downtown, as well as Seattle's continued suburban expansion.
The pages are available for free on the Library of Congress Chronicling America site, after the Washington State Library completed a project to scan, OCR and post them. The OCR struggles with blurry 19th century type at times, though. I have links to the original text on my site ba-kground.com.
本项工程是对1891年1月1日西雅图邮报智囊团(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)所列上一年度新建建筑列表的表格化处理。我的朋友库尔特·费舍尔(Curt Fischer)与我一同对国会图书馆的三页OCR文本进行了清理和重构。转录项目已完成。然而,未来版本的表格将包括当前的街道名称以及已知结构的地址,以及至今仍存留的各大建筑的维基百科链接。1890年的日期具有重要意义,因为当时市中心的大火(1889年)摧毁了大量建筑,以及西雅图持续的城市郊外扩张。这些页面可在国会图书馆的《美国编年史》(Chronicling America)网站上免费获取,华盛顿州图书馆完成扫描、OCR和发布后即可访问。不过,OCR在处理模糊的19世纪印刷字体时有时会遇到困难。我已在个人网站上提供了原始文本的链接,网址为ba-kground.com。
