Dataset

Historical addresses printed in Free Press Houston ads

Addresses printed in visually verified ads, exactly as printed, with a grouping key, unit as printed, ad, issue and PDF page, and the businesses explicitly associated.

Coverage: 206 observations from reviewed ads. Not a full census of held pages.
Methodology: Printed text is unchanged; the grouping key is for finding only. Joint-ad addresses are not assigned to a business unless the ad makes it clear. Dates are ad appearances, not opening or closing dates. No coordinates.
Rights: Descriptive metadata created by the archive is released under CC0 1.0. Rights in the underlying articles, photographs and artwork remain with their authors; the rows describe those works and do not license them.
