We present the results of text reuse de-
tection, based on the corpus of scanned
and OCR-recognized Finnish newspapers
and journals from 1771 to 1910. Our
study draws on BLAST, a software cre-
ated for comparing and aligning biologi-
cal sequences. We show different types of
text reuse in this corpus, and also present
a comparison to the software Passim, de-
veloped at the Northeastern University in
Boston, for text reuse detection.
