Over the past few years, interdisciplinary research projects such as Oceanic Exchanges, Living with Machines, Numapresse or NewsEye, all worked towards the semantic enrichment, integration and computational analysis of historical newspaper collections across institutional, national and linguistic boundaries. Against this background, we propose to present a new project: "impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past II. Beyond Borders: Connecting Historical Newspapers and Radio" which builds on the first impresso project that compiled and semantically enriched a corpus of Swiss and Luxembourgish newspapers. The second project will expand the corpus to a Western European scale, and bring together sources from various collections and languages. It aims at creating support for the research community by offering relevant data and interfaces for the exploration of its collections. We hope to reach out to researchers interested in contributing to the paradigm shift in the processing, representation and analysis of historical document collections.
