Extracting data from newspaper articles

I am working on a historical project and am hoping for some tips.  We have about 2500 newspaper articles as PDFs from the last 100 years, but we would like to pull some basic information (article date, meeting speaker and topic, location, etc) for analysis to show trends over the years.  I was hoping to be able to at least do a rough pull using ML, but to be honest I am stuck trying to find my starting point.  Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!  Identifying the useful data from unstructured newspaper articles is something I am hoping to technology can do at this point.
