Resource information

The corpus contains different volumes of four magazines: Suomen Kuvalehti, Historiallinen aikakauskirja, Lakimies and Suomi.

Suomen Kuvalehti’s volumes: 1917, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965, 1972 (approximately 5,4 million tokens).

Historiallinen Aikakauskirja’s volumes : 1917, 1920, 1925, 1935, 1945.

Lakimies’ volumes: 1917, 1920, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965, 1972.

Suomi’s volumes: 1917, 1920, 1923, 1935, 1938.

The corpus is made up of two parts: one whose OCR (optical character recognition) has been checked and another one whose OCR hasn’t been checked. The former part’s size is 670 000 tokens and contains one 1935 issue from Historiallinen Aikakauskirja, Lakimies and Suomi, as well as 4 issues of Suomen Kuvalehti from each of the years mentioned above (1917, 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965 and 1972). These issues were chosen so that there would be an equal amount of texts from all year round.
