Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the challenges of computational analysis of multilingual historical texts, using the example of sejmik records from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It presents the data preparation process: text extraction from PDFs, cleaning, and language annotation. Particular attention is given to problems stemming from the lack of standardized digital editions, modernized orthography, and the multilingual character of the texts (Polish, Ruthenian, Latin). NLP tools such as Morfeusz (Korbeusz), Concraft, and Stanza were used. The importance of adapting tools to the specifics of historical material and the need for further standardization of annotations within the Universal Dependencies framework are emphasized.
