Hansard at Huddersfield

Hansard at Huddersfield The Hansard at Huddersfield project aims to produce a user-friendly web version of Hansard for professionals interested in the record of UK parliament.

AHRC Funding: AH/R007136/1 The Hansard at Huddersfield project is an AHRC-funded project that aims to produce a user-friendly web-based version of Hansard, the record of the UK parliament, which will enable both professionals with an interest in the workings of government and the public to see how their concerns are addressed by politicians. This project builds on another recent project (the SAMUE

LS project) which annotated the whole of the historic database of Hansard with 'tags' enabling users to distinguish between synonyms such as 'Labour' (Party) and 'labour' (relations) and to trace historical development of topics, despite the different vocabulary that is used at different periods. The project will make this annotated database freely available through a website and offer a range of easy-to-use search facilities with associated visualisations, which make the rich resource of Hansard more useful to a wide range of people and more informative for non-expert users.

Our story

This project is an AHRC-funded project undertaken at the University of Huddersfield that has produced a user-friendly web-based version of Hansard, the record of the UK parliament: https://hansard.hud.ac.uk. The project aims to enable both professionals with an interest in the workings of government and the public to see how their concerns are addressed by politicians.

This project builds on another recent project (the SAMUELS project) which annotated the whole of the historic database of Hansard with ‘tags’ enabling users to distinguish between synonyms such as ‘Labour’ (Party) and ‘labour’ (relations) and to trace historical development of topics, despite the different vocabulary that is used at different periods.

The project has made this annotated database freely available through our website and offers a range of easy-to-use search facilities with associated visualisations, which make the rich resource of Hansard more useful to a wide range of people and more informative for non-expert users.
