News: Papers Past launches new
Ngā Tānga Reo Māori collection

News: Swiss National Library Collection
eclipses 10 million page milestone

Hello friend of Veridian,

This month we dive into an in-depth case study on the National Library of New Zealand’s (NLNZ) multilingual Papers Past collection, and the journey to launch their new Ngā Tānga Reo Māori (Māori language publications) collection and books interface. In addition, we share the news that the Swiss National Library Collection has eclipsed the 10 million page milestone.
Papers Past launches new Ngā Tānga Reo Māori collection
The Papers Past collection delivers digitised full-text New Zealand and Pacific newspapers, magazines and journals, letters and diaries, parliamentary papers and now books from the 19th and 20th centuries. Over time, it has grown to include over one million documents across these formats, with close to 8 million total pages.

The Veridian team has been working with Papers Past since 2006, ingesting data into and customising their use of the Veridian digital collection software to help create Papers Past on the web. Recently, we spoke with Melanie Lovell-Smith and Emerson Vandy from the National Library of New Zealand on their process to create and launch their new Ngā Tānga Reo Māori (Māori language publications) collection and books interface.

In the case study, we cover the origins of the project, how the collection was built (covering data processing, digitisation, creation and design of the interface), the additional considerations for the team including cultural sensibilities, navigability and search functionality, and the significance of and future plans for this collection.

Swiss National Library Collection eclipses 10 million page milestone
In exciting news, the Swiss National Library Collection has skyrocketed in size from 6.5 million to 10 million pages within just one year, making it the fastest-growing and now largest single Veridian collection (as at publish date).

This achievement is due to the momentum and streamlined processes the Swiss team have cultivated, allowing the collection of digitised Swiss newspapers from 1692-onwards to grow at an impressive rate.

Veridian works with the Swiss National Library in an ongoing capacity, providing responsive assistance focused on ingesting the data and expanding the index.

Veridian statistics
Veridian has now helped put 76,604,183 newspaper pages online,
of which 1,181,443 were added in the last month.


Until next month, best wishes from the Veridian team
Stefan, Michael, Jeffrey, Andrew, Richard, Pei, Shane, Ryan and Wayne.
