Abstract With more longitudinal archives becoming digitized and publicly available, new uses emerge. Collections that span centuries call for a time-aware exploration approach, a coordinated environment supporting understanding the development of word usage and meaning through time, with the means to leverage this for exploration. We present ongoing work on a coordinated time-aware exploratory search approach and present a case study on a prototype system. With this approach, a user is able to gain a deeper understanding of the relevant parts of the collection.
