  # ECCO-BERT base model (cased)
  
  A pretrained BERT model trained exclusively on the ECCO (Eighteenth Century Collections Online) dataset of digitized documents published during the 18th century in the United Kingdom. The model is equivalent in size to [bert-base-cased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-cased). The model is intended for fine-tuning on various tasks that use the ECCO dataset.
