Abstract
Scholars use references in books and articles to materials found in archives as one way of finding those materials, but present systems for archival access do not exploit that information. To change that, the first step is to find archival references in the scholarly literature; that is the focus of this paper. Several classifier designs are compared using a few thousand manually annotated footnotes and endnotes assembled from a large set of open access papers on history. The results indicate that fairly high recall and precision can be achieved.
