Early TimesColonist Transcripts Database

The goal of the Early TimesColonist Transcripts Database project was to take a collection of transcripts of news stories from early editions of the Times Colonist and other Victoria newspapers which were in text files containing special codes for various bits of information, normalize the records, put them into an SQL database and then write a querying front-end to allow students, researchers and the general public to have access to this information on the history of colonial Vancouver Island.
