The document summarizes the Chalice project, which aims to create a historical gazetteer from volumes of the English Place-Name Society (EPNS). It involves extracting place names from EPNS texts, disambiguating them using a gazetteer, and linking the information as structured data. Challenges include dealing with optical character recognition errors and integrating the data with other historical sources and datasets.
