XML transcriptions and JPEG images exported from Transkribus as ground truth for an eScriptorium-Kraken HTR model (CER 11-12%) trained on the correspondence of Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911), primarily letters to William Turner Thiselton-Dyer (1843-1928) during the late-19th/early-20th century. Many transcriptions in this dataset were generated by a small team of anonymous volunteers as part of the Joseph Hooker Correspondence Project based at Kew Gardens.
