Building Your Own Searchable Document Archive
This session teaches you how to make searchable document archives. Transparency Toolkit recently built a hosted archive service to help journalists compile, explore, filter, and publish large sets of documents. You will learn how to use this software to create a searchable database by uploading files in your browser, analyse the data with text mining tools, and publish the documents.
