Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for determining an in-memory data structure for storing digital images (e.g., newspaper images representing individual pages of digitized newspapers) based on a first level hash and a second level hash that map to nested categories within a browse structure of a genealogical data system. For example, the disclosed systems generate a multilevel data block by implementing one or more compression techniques to reduce overall data size, particularly relating to month data and image/page identification data. In some cases, the disclosed systems greatly reduce the memory and processing requirements of storing, browsing, and searching digital content items (e.g., newspaper images) within a genealogical database.
