N2 - Historical ecology research relies on historical accounts of human-animal interactions to study this interaction through space and time. Newspaper archives are a rich source of information, but require careful querying and filtering to collect the relevant information. Traditionally, this is a laborious manual task. In this position paper, we describe our ongoing work on semantically enriching a newspaper collection to create a knowledge base to support historical ecological work.
