[* October 21, 2016 is the date of the first FRUS-dates-project commit. October 12, 2016 is the date of the first query-based analysis of the FRUS corpus.]
As of May 2018, we completed the work detailed in Phase 1 for the existing digital corpus and newly integrated quarterly releases. 100% of historical documents have been assigned a date/date range, including those “undated” by FRUS compilers past.
In December 2017, the Office of the Historian launched its new search function, which allows date searching and sorting: https://history.state.gov/search
We developed logic for applying comprehensive dateTime ranges as div/@frus:doc-dateTime-min
and div/@frus:doc-dateTime-max
for 19,629 (99.58%) parent subchapters, chapters, and compilations. (Exceptions are in volumes frus1902app1 and frus1902app2, which need restructuring work.)
We analyzed front and back matter sections, applying div/@subtype
as well as div/@frus:doc-dateTime-min
and div/@frus:doc-dateTime-max
. 2,539 (100%) sections in front and back matter now have searchable dates.
