Northeastern University

The Oceanic Exchanges (OcEx) Project brings together collaborators from Northeastern University in the U.S., Finland, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The project will link digital repositories to enable analysis of nineteenth century newspapers across national and linguistic boundaries. Not only will researchers be able to analyze and visualize newspapers within their local and national settings, but they will be able to examine how ideas moved across time and place, beyond and between national borders. The resource will reveal the global networks through which texts and concepts traveled, creating new evidence about how readers around the world perceived one another.
