Summary/Abstract: The paper calls attention to the problem of massive amounts of digital historical sources that will eventually be faced by researchers of contemporary history. Slovenian parliamentary papers are then presented in detail as an example of smart big data. The authors believe that historians will be unable to process massive amounts of such digital materials using only standard historiographical methods and will be forced to start using methods and tools developed by digital history, digital humanities and also language technologies.
