Title: A Data Set of Annotated Historical Maps
Description: This data set is designed for testing the performance of optical character recognition algorithms on text in scanned historical map images. Thirty maps from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were chosen from the David Rumsey Map Collection (http://davidrumsey.com). Most maps are of individual states, though some are regional and one is of the entire U.S.; most feature little handwritten text. The original MrSid files are converted into uncompressed TIFF images for a manual annotation, stored in XML format. The authors gratefully acknowledge the David Rumsey Map Collection as the source of the map images, which come with the following notice: Images copyright © 2000 by Cartography Associates.

Title: A Data Set of Annotated Historical Maps
Description: This data set is designed for testing the performance of optical character recognition (OCR) algorithms on text in scanned historical map images. Thirty maps from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1866–1927) were chosen from nine atlases in the David Rumsey Map Collection. Most maps are of individual states, though some are regional and one is of the entire U.S.; most are manually typeset, with occasional handwritten text. Each place name and many other textual items are annotated with the baseline, bounds, character heights, and ground truth text transcriptions. Several maps also feature USGS GNIS Feature ID tags for labeled items. Java code for processing is provided with the text-based XML annotations, alongside the original, compressed MrSID images and uncompressed TIFF images. We gratefully acknowledge the David Rumsey Map Collection as the source of the map images, which come with the following notice: "Images copyright 2000 by Cartography Associates.

Title: Historical Map Annotations for Text Detection and Recognition
Description: This data is set designed for testing the performance of text/graphics separation and character recognition algorithms on text in scanned historical map images. Thirty one maps from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1866–1927) were chosen from nine atlases in the David Rumsey Map Collection (http://davidrumsey.com). Most maps are of individual U.S. states, though some are regional and one is of the entire U.S.; most feature little handwritten text. The original MrSid files are converted into uncompressed TIFF images for a manual annotation, stored in JSON format.
