Description

This project builds upon the work by German libraries to convert all 65,658 pages of the 536 Messkataloge (the printed "book catalogs" created for the Frankfurt and Leipzig book fairs from 1594 to 1860) from images to machine-readable plaintext, resulting in the first digital database of the Messkataloge.
