The Latvijas Nacionālais arhīvs, National Archives of Latvia, have been awarded our annual digitisation grants, combining the Metadata Grant and Digitise & Upload Grant into a single project.
Unlike in the previous years, the Latvijas Nacionālais arhīvs were already content providers for APED, with about 349,000 finding aids; the grant will allow to ingest other 1,375,032 publicly available description units from the search engine of the archives (arhivi.gov.lv)
The project aims to develop a customised export from the existing software to EAD or apeEAD; furthermore, the existing collections that are already in APE will be reviewed and improved.
The 2024 digitisation grants will open at the end of this year; to learn more about them, please visit https://www.archivesportaleurope.net/tools/ape-grants/ape-digitisation-grants/
