This dataset includes minutes of Belfort municipal council drawn up between 1790 and 1946. Documents include deliberations, lists of councillors, convocations, and agendas. The dataset includes 24,105 text-line images that were automatically detected from pages. Up to 4 transcriptions are available for each line image: two from humans, and two from automatic models. We would like to thank the Archives municipales de la ville de Belfort, France for giving us access to these documents.
