Abstract
Since 2009, in parallel with the creation of national or local research portals, countries around Europe have started to design a system to integrate these online allowing to access Europe’s archival heritage through one single entry point. In 2012, after three years of research, Archives Portal Europe (APE) opened up to all institutions holding archival material about Europe. Today, the portal enables new types of digital archival research, freed from geographical limitations and based on cross-country comparison and multilingualism. At the same time, establishing a common basis for the central services of the portal to allow for the searching, processing, and displaying of the archival material of thousands of institutions comes with important technical (as well as political) challenges. This paper presents challenges and solutions adopted by Archives Portal Europe as a multi-level international aggregator.
