Thus far, most investigations and automatic methods have been developed and carried out on English text and most recent methods make use of word embeddings. This paper presents a study on using Word2Vec, a neural word embedding method, on a Swedish historical newspaper collection. Our study includes a set of 11 words and our focus is the quality and stability of the word vectors over time. We investigate if a word embedding method like Word2Vec can be effectively used on texts where the volume and quality is limited.}, booktitle = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Vol. 2084.
