The « Distant Reading for European Literary History » COST Action, which started in 2017, has among its main objectives the creation of an open source, multilingual European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC). In this paper we present the work carried out to manually annotate a selection of the ELTeC collection for Named Entities, as well as to evaluate existing NER tools as to their capacity to reproduce such annotation. In the final paragraph, points of contact between this initiative and CLARIN are discussed.
