  • New European Archives Portal

    This looks like it could be interesting. And translated into several European languages.Maybe one for the reference library



    The Archives Portal Europe provides access to information on archival material from different European countries as well as information on archival institutions throughout the continent. Within the next years, this installation will develop both technically and in terms of content addition and we welcome your feedback

    Joint access to European archives


    By giving access to archival material from all over Europe, the Archives Portal Europe provides the opportunity to detect common relations in a comprehensive approach while at the same time reflecting the diversity of national and regional developments.

    Presentation of archival content



    An overview of the fonds and collections maintained by one archival institution is given within the holdings guides. More detailed, hierarchical descriptions of the archival material including links to digitisations can be found in the relevant finding aids.

    Combined search facilities



    In addition to a simple full text search, the Archives Portal Europe offers an advanced search concentrating on aspects such as dates as well as a navigated search for browsing through the archival material. All approaches can be followed separately or in combination.


    Contact details and services



    Within the section "Directory", information such as contact details or opening hours of the archival institutions can be consulted. This not only includes those institutions already featuring their archival material in the Archives Portal Europe, but also other institutions from the participating countries.

        The French version of the homepage says it is an indexing project backed by the European Commision. I doubt very much whether it will give you access to the original document but it will tell you what is available as it is added and information on where to find it - which repository, contact details etc. Sounds very much like the National Archives but on a European level.
