In June 2025 CLARIN ERIC launched PressMint, a new flagship project that aims to compile a multilingual, comparable, annotated, translated and interoperable set of corpora of European historical newspapers from around the start of the 20th century. The PressMint corpora will be openly available, both for download in a variety of instances and formats, as well as via several online corpus analysis tools. The project will proactively disseminate and foster the use of the corpus collection.

The PressMint project involves 10 national consortia including the Institute for Language and Speech Processing of the Athena Research Centre.

Project duration: 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2027
