For example, perhaps you are a researcher who would like to try out new indexing techniques on the millions of pages of OCR data in Chronicling America. Or perhaps you are a service provider and anticipate needing to support a high volume of fulltext searches across the corpus, and do not want the Chronicling America API as an external dependency. To support these and other potential use cases we are beginning to provide bulk access to the underlying data sets. The initial bulk data sets include: Batches: each batch of digitized content that is provided by awardees is made available via the Batches HTML, Atom and JSON views. These views provide links to where the files comprising the batch can be fetched with a web crawling tool like wget. OCR Bulk Data: the complete set of OCR XML and text files that make up the newspaper collection are made available as compressed archive files. These files are listed in the OCR report, and are also made available via Atom and JSON feeds that will allow you to build automated workflows for updating your local collection."
