burkov · x · 2026-11-08
Andriy Burkov announces that Yann Ryan's Accessing and Using Historical Newspaper Data is now in ChapterPal's open-book collection. The book demystifies accessing British Library newspaper collections, walks through practical R workflows for large-scale historical newspaper research, and flags the data's limitations. Two versions are offered — the author's 2023 original and a corrected 2026 ChapterPal edition — with an AI tutor for guided reading.
