University of Virginia Library is planning to digitize some or all of the
back run of the University's student newspaper (1890 - present). We'll be
using a commercial keyboarding vendor for full-text transcription and TEI
XML encoding (based on digital images from microfilm).
We're interested to hear from others in the TEI community with experience
digitizing newspapers using TEI. What other institutions have done this
sort of thing? Any particular encoding challenges posed by newspapers (as
opposed to books)?
Thanks,
Greg Murray
