Digital corpora
Looking for digitised resources? Then the university library is a good place to start. We have licenses on a large number of e-books and digital text corpora, but also offer access to platforms with which these and other digital text corpora can be searched. This also applies to a wide range of audiovisual corpora.
Humanities search systems
On the Humanities search systems page you can find an overview of the digital text and audiovisual corpora for Digital Humanities research.
- Use the text mining tag to filter the files available for text mining.
- To find (audio) visual files, use the select type filter and choose sound & vision.
Raw data
For a number of text corpora, the library has the raw data available via Yoda. You can then query the raw data using your own tools.
When using these data, please take into account the privacy statement. Only Utrecht University staff may use the data. Request access via Yoda.
From the following files we have raw data available via Yoda:
- Eighteenth Century Collections Online

- Nineteenth Century U.K. Periodicals, Module 1
- Times Digital Archives (1785-2011)
