The project “IIX - Index and Inventory of Text Corpora”  is aimed at making the texts of the “AAC - Austrian Academy Corpus” searchable again.

In a first step the texts of this historical corpus will be made accessible in the NoSketch Engine for internal use only within the Literary & Print Culture Studies research unit.

The digital text corpus of the AAC contains around 600 million tokens, based upon more than 2.5 million digital images of printed publications (books, booklets, journals, newspapers etc.) published between 1848 and 1989, digitalized within the framework of the Austrian Academy Corpus in the first decade of the 21st century.
