Geographical Analysis of Journal Digital

Published January 2, 2026 | Version v0.1.0

Dataset Open

This project performs geographical analysis of Swedish newsreels from the

Journal Digital corpus (1930-1965) using Named Entity Recognition (NER),

geolocation validation, and geocoding. The pipeline extracts location mentions

from video subtitles, validates them against the GeoNames gazetteer, and

converts them to geographic coordinates using Nominatim. Results include

validated location datasets, temporal analysis of geographic mentions, regional

distribution statistics, and JSON exports for spatial visualization. The

project provides tools for preprocessing NER data, analyzing location patterns

over time, and generating interactive visualizations of geographic coverage in

Swedish newsreel production.
