How the portal works

In order to use historical archives online to their full potential, it is important to understand how they are set up and how they work. There are three main ways to do research on the portal: by keyword, by topic, and by institution. This section will guide you through them in order to help you make the most of your searches in the portal; it will also give you extra links and tips on how to use the web for research in historical archives.

A new way to do archival (and history) research

Archival research is traditionally conducted in one institution at a time. With Archives Portal Europe, it is possible to search what interests you (be that a person, an event, a specific document or other) across thousands of archives around the world, at the same time. This allows for unprecedented comparisons between archival documents, across cultures and languages, and lets you see how events and people shaped our archival heritage across the world: you can check at the same time the smallest parish archive in a remote village, together with the largest national archives. We particularly encourage you to take advantage of the comparative perspectives, at global as well as glocal levels, that Archives Portal Europe creates.

Approaches to searching in the portal

Archives are usually formed by accumulation around the records creator, the person or body that originally created and managed the documents. This is following the principle of provenance, one of the pillars of archival studies and information structure in archives. Archives Portal Europe recognises and respects the principle of provenance, and it makes sure that this is always clearly traceable at any point of a digital search: either as a starting point for a Search in names or in the way search results are presented. However, the portal also allows searching in many more ways, with search engines that simultaneously scrape millions of archival descriptions (or “finding aids”) across different types of institutions, and in different languages.

Where does the Portal search?

The search engine of Archives Portal Europe searches for the keywords through the whole of its repository, which can be divided in three macro-categories:

  • Search in Archives - here the scraper searches into all the descriptions of the documents you are looking for. Please note, these are the descriptions of the documents, not the content of the documents. A letter that mentions the "French Revolution" will only appear in the results if the archival description related to the letter also mentions the "French Revolution"
  • Search in Names - here the scraper looks into the descriptions of the records creator, the person or entity that created or collected a document. Searching for “French Revolution” will return all the records creators those descriptions contain the expression “French Revolution”, like a body that "was established right after the French Revolution"
  • Search in Institutions - here the scraper looks into the descriptions of the archival institutions that collaborate with Archives Portal Europe. Searching for “French Revolution” will return the institutions those description contains the expression “French Revolution”, like an archive "that was funded immediately after the French Revolution", or an institution that is "located in French Revolution square".

The default view when doing research is on “Search in Archives” – however, all options are presented, each with different filters. Remember, Archives Portal Europe is not granular to the point of the single document (nor it searches “inside” the document, which would require the ingestion of OCR text from fully digitised collections), but it searches into the single collection held in the archives or archival institutions, as well as into the descriptors made available for the records creators and for the hosting institutions.

Search in Archives Portal Europe:

A keyword search is perhaps the most intuitive and familiar of the ways to approach an online archive: it is like Google and other search engines. Indeed, we like to call Archives Portal Europe “the Google of Archives”. However, the way in which the Archives Portal Europe search engine works is much different from Google.

How do the keywords work?

Once you have typed your set of keywords, the portal will look for those words across millions of archival descriptions.

By default, the portal will look for documents containing ALL of the entered keywords, whether they are close to each other ...

By default, the portal will look for documents containing ALL of the entered keywords, whether they are close to each other or not.

If you are looking for compound words, then you must wrap them in quotation marks.

For example, if you search for French Revolution, the computer will look for archival descriptions containing both the word French and the word Revolution, but not necessarily close, or meaning the concept. In order to get the expression you were looking for, you must wrap the words into brackets (“French Revolution”)

If you are looking for documents containing at least one word (either French, or Revolution, or both), you can select the option in the search area.

While Archives Portal Europe holds material in more than 20 languages, the scraper will only look for the keywords that you provide. For example, if you type French Revolution, the results will only contain the expression as typed, in English. However, there are two features that allow for multilinguality: spelling suggestions & wildcard characters

Spelling suggestions

If one or more keywords only slightly differ from one language to the other (eg, Revolution and <...

If one or more keywords only slightly differ from one language to the other (eg, Revolution and Révolution), you will get a series of suggestions for alternative spellings that cover more languages. This is, of course, also useful in case of spelling mistakes – either from you, or from the archival description!

Wildcard characters

Wildcards are placeholders that can be interpreted by computers as different sets of strings

The asterisk (*) tells the scraper to ignore any character that follows the asterisk. For example, if I type Napoleon, I will exclude ...

The asterisk (*) tells the scraper to ignore any character that follows the asterisk. For example, if I type Napoleon, I will exclude all search results that contain the words Napoleone (Italian), or Napoleonic. But if I search for Napoleon* I will include them. This is very useful to include adjectives, but also for plurals, feminine and masculine, and other variations present in different languages

The question mark (?) tells the system that the question mark can be replaced with any other character. For example, if you type Napoleon, you will not get the results for Napoleón (Spanish) or Napoléon (French), but they will be included if you type Napol??n

Also, keep in mind the different alphabets! In our search for Napoleon, the most inclusive search will be Nap?l?* Ναπολέων ნაპოლეონ Наполеон

Boolean operators

The default mode of the keyword search is that the documents returned will contain ALL the keywords indicated (corresponding to the Boolean operator AND). With this option, the scraper will return any result that matches at least one word. For example, if I search for Napoleon Napoleone Ναπολέων without selecting “match at least one word”, I will most likely not get any result, because no archival description would have the name written three times in different languages. With “match at least one word”, I will search for all documents that contain the name spelled at least in one of these ways (corresponding to the Boolean operator OR)

Other important Boolean operators:

NOT - will exclude a term from the search. Eg, Napoleon NOT Saint Helena

" " - The quotation marks will make sure words are searched as a cluster and in that order. If I search for Napoleon Bonaparte, the search engine will return text that has both the words Napoleon and Bonaparte, but possibly in different areas of the text. If I search for "Napoleon Bonaparte", only this text with this exact string will be returned. If there are no results, the engine will look automatically for results without the quotation marks.

( ) - parentheses can be used to give priority to the keywords contained within a complex search, as in an equation. Eg, (Napoleon or Ναπολέων) AND (Saint Helena or Sant' Elena)

Topics group together archival collections, from different institutions and subject creators, which relate to the same argument. If you are doing research on a specific event (eg, “World War II”), on a specific theme (eg, “Slavery”), or historical period (eg, “The German Democratic Republic”), you can start your research from Topics, and then filter down further.

Topics are a powerful tool for research, because they allow to make connections between very different archival collections, in different languages and from different countries, without the need to use keywords. However, it is important to understand that topics are assigned by archival institutions manually, according to their classification systems, or through crowdsourcing projects, and that they may not be comprehensive of everything available on Archives Portal Europe on a determined subject. Indeed, some topics may be at an initial phase, with only a handful of documents available – if you want to volunteer to improve a Topic, or to create a new one, please get in touch now!

We are also experimenting with an automated topic detection tool which will allow us to make the Topics more and more comprehensive.

How topics are created

Topics are organised according to a categorization maintained and created by the Country Managers’ Network and based on the UNESCO Thesaurus, the UK Archival Thesaurus, and the vocabularies set up by the French Ministry of Culture

This is the more traditional way of doing archival research. You can start with a specific institution, and check the list of holding guides and finding aids available on the portal, organised according to the tradition of that specific institution. There are different options available:

Search

Search the name of the institution if you already know it

Find

Go to the “Find an institution” page to see contact details, access information, and details about an institution's holdings

Filter

by country or countries

by area

by type of archive

Compare

You can also compare the types of holdings of different institutions at the same time

Research Results

The list view gives precedence to the single finding aids, organised by default by relevance.

Relevance - this means that the first results are those in which the keyword(s) appear more frequently. This does not necessarily means that these are the most relevant finding aids to what you are looking for: the way in which archival descriptions are written vary a lot from institution to institution, and they are not expected to be "optimised" for a search engine! Do not be afraid of browsing through multiple pages, or to apply further filters!

Date - documents can also be ordered by date. However, please note that this will only work for the finding aids where date is written in a machine-readable format. Furthermore, please notice that the date refers to when the document was created, not to the historical period it refers to: for example, the date of a 1928 translation of a 1389 parchment is 1928.

Title - documents can also be sorted alphabetical by their title.

Identifiers - if you already have experience with specific documents or collections, sorting documents by either their specific reference code or by the identifier of the finding aid they belong to can also be of help in organising your search results.

Archives Portal Europe help guide

Please select amongst the relevant tips we can help with. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

Starting your search here will include all content available in Archives Portal Europe. Simply enter your keyword(s) and hit the search button. Wrap fixed expressions in quotation marks, e.g. “French Revolution”. Check the box to “Search each term separately” in case you are looking for documents containing at least one word, but not necessarily all keywords; this will also allow you to search for the same term in multiple languages at the same time (e.g. “French Revolution” “Révolution Française”). You can also use wildcards - find more about Research Tools here. If you would like to use more specific settings, try our Advanced search

The additional advanced search options give you the possibility to focus your search in:

  • archival documents (Search in archives),
  • names of person and organisations that created, worked with and maintained these documents (Search in names),
  • Institutions currently holding the documents (Search in institutions).

When searching with multiple terms at the same time, wrap fixed expressions in quotation marks (e.g. "French Revolution"), or check the box "Search each term separately" in case you are looking for either one term of the other. This will also allow you to search for the same term in multiple languages (e.g. "French Revolution" "Révolution française"). You can also choose one of the suggestions matching your search term once you start typing.

This will only show results that include documents that have been digitised and are available online

Use this option to search only one or more keywords, rather than all of them

Select where your search terms should appear specifically inside the archival description:
