ABSTRACT
This work introduces Diggersdiaries, an web interface to a historical textual document collection. Digital collections are rich in content, but traditional search-based and faceted-based interfaces cannot represent their richness efficiently - e.g.
for time-poor and casual browsing. This project addresses this challenge using data analysis (topic models) transparently
integrated into reading-centric interface as a two-level browsing menu of semantic topics. The interface offers multiple ex-
ploration visualization tools. Its main contribution it is that the interface is fully reading-oriented. The tool is available at
