Summary/Abstract: Normalizing historical texts or in other words converting them to modern spelling enables us to analyze them with tools designed for contemporary language. It also makes it possible to search the texts for different keywords and automatically compare the old spelling to contemporary spelling. This article gives a general overview of normalizing, different methods, previously performed experiments and the main problems in the context of the old Estonian texts from the second half of the 19th century.
