The Couranten Corpus comprises the seventeenth-century Dutch newspapers available on Delpher (delpher.nl/kranten). The oldest surviving newspapers were published in 1618. For the Delpher-website the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague has scanned the newspapers. In a citizen science project all newspapers were transcribed and corrected by more than 300 volunteers of the Stichting Vrijwilligersnetwerk Nederlandse Taal, led by Nicoline van der Sijs. Subsequently, metadata were added and checked, for instance on genre (advertisements, national news, international news).
