  “Archival Googling”: Using Archives Portal Europe as an aid for archives in the web sphere

  Archives Portal Europe (https://www.archivesportaleurope.net/) is an online archive catalogue repository which allows simultaneous archival research in thousands of institutions from more than thirty European countries in 24 languages and 5 alphabets through one simple online search system. Established in 2009, APE holds information on around 7,000 archival institutions, with over a thousand actively contributing content. It holds more than 280 million archival descriptive units and is constantly expanding to make more material available for research.
  
  In this workshop, participants will work in groups, using Zoom breakout rooms , to test first-hand how archival research in multiple archival institutions can be conducted via the portal, and the new opportunities (and challenges) offered by Archives Portal Europe as an international aggregator of archival descriptions. The workshop will focus on the problem of retrieval of meaningful results based on keyword search, in a multilingual environment. Participants will be shown APE’s tools, and particularly a tool for automated topic detection, which will enrich the possibilities of “searching by TOPIC” given by the portal. There will be a prize for the greatest number of relevant results found, and the material gathered will be published on the portal’s website, with full credit to the participant. This will be a fully interactive and engaging demonstration of how Archives Portal Europe can be used to illuminate Europe’s history, and it will showcase an online tool open to any archive in the world to join, for free, to share relevant material on European history with a broader audience.

  The goal of the SISIA is to establish an informal meeting space for members interested or working with Indigenous collections. The meetings are often open dialogue for members to discuss any topic related to Indigenous perspectives, experience, and interests generally but also regarding archive. We are very open to discuss whatever is of interest to you in the present moment on these topics and hope that we can be of support to each other on our varying paths of learning and unlearning both within and external to the archive.
