+# StoriesLM: A Family of Language Models With Sequentially-Expanding Pretraining Windows
+
+## Model Family
+
+StoriesLM is a family of language models with sequentially-expanding pretraining windows. The pretraining data for the model family comes from the American Stories dataset—a collection of language from historical American news articles. The first language model in the StoriesLM family is pretrained on language data from 1900. Each subsequent language model further trains the previous year’s model checkpoint using data from the following year, up until 1963.
