	abstract = {This presentation by Stephen Pumfrey explores his personal triumphs and struggles trying to use the data on EEBO to answer a historical research question through text mining. As Pumfrey conducted searches in the database, more questions came to the surface. Eventually he was led to methodologies of "frequency analysis, corpus linguistics and historical data mining" to answer his queries. Pumfrey critically reflects on the challenges he encountered and what he learnt trying to answer his questions using digital methodologies on a digital database. From experimenting with Boolean search terms to painstakingly plotting graphs by hand, Pumfrey honestly acknowledges the shortcomings of his research and opens his experiences up as a helpful case study. },
