A Fully-Searchable Multimodal Dataset of the Illustrated London News, 1842–1890
This paper introduces a dataset of 72,081 wood-engraved images extracted from the Illustrated London News (ILN) from the years 1842 to 1890. In the mid-19th century, the ILN revolutionized news consumption by combining text with high-quality wood-engraved illustrations published at scale. While digitization has facilitated text-based analysis of historical periodicals, visual content remains challenging to explore systematically. We address this …

The increasing roles of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the construction of cultural heritage and humanities datasets necessitate critical examination of the myriad biases introduced by machines, algorithms, and the humans who build and deploy them. From image classification to optical character recognition, the effects of decisions ostensibly made by machines compound through the digitization pipeline and redouble in each step, m…
