The paper presents the beta Version of the ParlAT Corpus, a corpus of Austrian parliamentary records and its current state. The ParlAT project aims to create a corpus of all digitally available parliamentary records from the National council – one of the two chambers of the Austrian parliament – starting with 1945, i.e. for the period of the so called “Second Republic”. The ParlAT beta contains parliamentary records for the last 21 years (i.e. between 1996 - 2017), that is 36% of the relevant digitally available parliamentary records. This paper will describe the data collection and data processing and give an outlook on future work.
