Lothian Diaries Dataset 1 (May-September 2020)

This archive contains all fully transcribed Lothian Diaries with maximum sharing consent (internet, TV, radio etc.) submitted to The Lothian Diary Project prior to 30 September 2020, along with accompanying survey data. There are 24 diaries submitted by participants who agree for their names to be made public (in folder 'Name_Public') and 21 by participants who would like to remain anonymous (in folder 'Anon_Public'). All diaries are identified by a unique participant ID consisting of the first 3/4 characters of the postcode (e.g. EH14), the speaker's gender (F/M) and their year of birth. Diaries are stored in either WAV format (audio) or MP4 format (video), depending on participant preference. Time-aligned transcriptions of both types of files are stored in tab-delimited plain text files. All transcriptions were auto-generated and have been hand-corrected.
