   Abstract = {<jats:p>On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance
             is a collections as data and machine learning project from
             the University Libraries at the University of North Carolina
             at Chapel Hill. This project has created a plain text corpus
             of North Carolina legal volumes (1866–1967) and used
             machine learning to identify likely Jim Crow laws. The
             project has been well received and is now being expanded to
             two additional states, while assessing the use of On the
             Books products in research and instruction. State partners
             at the University of South Carolina and the University of
             Virginia are adapting the On the Books methodology to create
             corpora for their own states. Three teaching fellows created
             learning modules that use products from On the Books and
             taught the modules to college-level courses. Research
             fellows are making use of the products on research projects
             of their own design. This article will provide background
             for the On the Books project and will assess its use for
             multiple purposes: as a workflow to be reproduced by others,
             as content for use in teaching and learning, and as a
             resource for researchers. To demonstrate the utility of On
             the Books as a research tool, the article is co-authored by
             one of the research fellows. The project “Mental Health,
             Disability, and Jim Crow Laws in North Carolina,
             1866–1967,” makes use of the legal corpus as a primary
             source for researching the intersections of information,
             mental health, nutrition, and shifts from agricultural to
             industrial economics in the history of North Carolina. By
             assessing the experiences of those making use of On the
             Books products, this article contributes to the
             understanding of best practices for those interested in
             creating and supporting collections as data so they may be
             used successfully for reproducibility, research, and
             teaching.</jats:p>},
