There is a particular focus on the 1850s, 1890s and 1910s, with at least one directory provided for each county in each of these decades.<br> The digitisation of the volumes involved a two-stage process, in which (1) the hard-copy source was scanned to produce a graphic image of each page, and then (2) those images were processed using OCR software to generate a machine-readable text file.<br> <br> <br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The directories included are of many different kinds, commonly embracing trade, commercial, and private resident directories, together with gazetteers, almanacs, official information, etc. For the purposes of deposit in the UK Data Archive, the collection has been divided into 35 studies on a regional and temporal basis.<br> <br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1856 - 1919 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Lincolnshire <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Ancient Counties <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Text units (documents/chapters/words) <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Image </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Selected Directories from Lincolnshire </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Compilation or synthesis of existing material <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> <br> History, Gazetteer and Directory of Lincolnshire, 1856.
