description: A collection of word-frequency and other data representing 27,362 unique articles (no duplicate or close-variant documents) that contain the word "humanities" but that have not been classified as being about the humanities published from 1998-2018 in 545 U.S. top-circulating and student newspapers and their associated blogs. WE1S and other researchers use this data to look for broad patterns and to help guide closer study. The collection includes 13,309 articles from U.S. top-circulating newspapers and 14,053 articles from student newspapers. Supervised classification models have classified these articles as not being about the humanities; this collection therefore helps WE1S understand what articles that contain the word "humanities" but that aren't about the humanities per se are like. News sources in Collection 36 include 15 top-circulation U.S newspapers: <em>Boston Globe</em>, <em>Chicago Tribune</em>, <em>Daily News</em> (New York), <em>Dallas Morning News</em>, <em>Denver Post</em>, <em>Houston Chronicle</em>, <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, <em>New York Post, New York Times</em> (and its blogs), <em>Newsday</em> (New York), <em>Seattle Times</em>, <em>Star Tribune</em> (Minneapolis, MN), <em>Tampa Bay Times</em>, <em>USA Today</em>, <em>Washington Post</em>. Also included are documents from 530 U.S. campus newspapers, among which the top 15 sources in the collection are: <em>The Stanford Daily</em> (Stanford University), <em>The Tartan</em> (Carnegie Mellon), <em>The Dartmouth</em> (Dartmouth), <em>The Harvard Crimson</em> (Harvard), <em>The Daily Princetonian</em> (Princeton), <em>The Brown Daily Herald</em> (Brown), <em>The Daily Cardinal</em> (UW Madison), <em>The Daily Titan</em> (California State University, Fullerton), <em>The Daily Bruin</em> (UC Los Angeles), <em>The Daily Universe</em> (Brigham Young University), <em>Badger Herald</em> (UW Madison), <em>Daily Eastern News</em> (Eastern Illinois University), <em>The Columbia Spectator</em> (Columbia), <em>Indiana Daily Student</em> (Indiana University), <em>Cornell Daily Sun</em> (Cornell). <strong>Kinds of Sources (by Tags)</strong> Sources in Collection 36 are associated with the following non-exclusive metadata categories, which describe the kinds of sources in the collection.
