+### Dataset Summary
+
+This is a version of the Kubhist 2 dataset originally created, curated and made available by Språkbanken Text (SBX) at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) under the CC BY 4.0 license. 
+This is a a corpus of OCRed newspapers from Sweden spanning the 1640s to the 1900s.
+The original data is available with many types of annotation in XML at https://spraakbanken.gu.se/en/resources/kubhist2. 
+A good description of the original data is available in this blog entry by Dana Dannélls: https://spraakbanken.gu.se/blogg/index.php/2019/09/15/the-kubhist-corpus-of-swedish-newspapers/
+
+In a nutshell, this hugginface dataset version offers:
+- only the OCRed text
+- available in decadal subsets
+- one line per sentence, sentences shorter than 4 words were discarded
+
+In total this dataset contains 2,819,065,590 tokens. A distribution of tokens per decade is available below.

+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+One feature: `text`.
+Load the whole corpus using `dataset = load_dataset("ChangeIsKey/kubhist2")`, or a decadal subset using `dataset = load_dataset("ChangeIsKey/kubhist2", "decade")`. The
+`decade` must be a string, valid values are within `range(1640, 1910, 10)`.
+
+You can combine several decades using `concatenate_datasets` like this:
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset, concatenate_datasets
+
+ds_1800 = load_dataset("ChangeIsKey/kubhist2", "1800")
+ds_1810 = load_dataset("ChangeIsKey/kubhist2", "1810")
+ds_1820 = load_dataset("ChangeIsKey/kubhist2", "1820")
+
+ds_1800_1820 = concatenate_datasets([ds_1800["train"], ds_1810["train"], ds_1820["train"]])
+```
+
+
+### Data Splits
+
+The dataset has only one split, `train`.
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+
+The original data is in a highly-annotated XML format not ideally suited for basic NLP tasks such as unsupervised language modeling: information such as page numbers, fonts, etc. is less relevant and has thus been discarded.
+Keeping only the running text of the newspaper and removing sentences shorter than 4 words further allows a 150x data size reduction (2.4TB --> 16GB). 
+
+### Source Data
+
+The original data is available with many types of annotation in XML at https://spraakbanken.gu.se/en/resources/kubhist2.

+
+### Personal and Sensitive Information
+
+This is historical newspaper data, with the latest data published in 1909. Everyone mentioned in this dataset was probably already a public figure, and has been dead for a while.
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+### Discussion of Biases
+
+This is historical data. As such, outdated views might be present in the data.
+
+### Other Known Limitations
+
+The data comes from an OCR process. The text is thus not perfect, especially so in the earlier decades.
