Abstract

Recently many archives containing historical documents have been created and made open for public use. The availability of such large collections of past data provides opportunities for new kinds of knowledge extraction. In this paper we discuss the potential of web and news archives for automatic acquisition of historical knowledge. We also describe some aspects of the data and we draw parallel to historiography - the science of making the history.
