Welcome to the Hansard at Huddersfield blog!

Thank you for visiting the Hansard at Huddersfield blog! This blog documents the use of the Hansard at Huddersfield website (hansard.hud.ac.uk) in research on socio-political topics. The Hansard at Huddersfield website is the product of the Hansard at Huddersfield project, which aims to make the rich resource of Hansard more useful to a wide range of people and more informative for non-expert users. By adapting a number of complex search tools linguists used to study large databases like Hansard, the project aims to provide new ways of scrutinising and visualising patterns in Hansard data.

You can find blog posts by researchers who have used the Hansard at Huddersfield website under “Research using our site“.

Feel free to browse our other pages documenting the rationale and project development of our project too, and to consider contributing to our project by writing a blog yourself or sending us feedback on the site.

Happy reading!
