Strategic Objective 4
APEnet – Associate Partners Liaison Group (APEnet = Archives Portal Europe project group)
Responsible bodies
European Regional Branch of ICA (EURBICA)
Objective
The Liaison group will support members of EURBICA and others to share their descriptive data with other archival institutions in the European Portal for Archives prepared by the EU-funded project APEnet. It will address interested institutions and contributors especially from those countries who are not member of the EU and therefore cannot benefit from the EU funding for the APEnet project.
The concept of APEnet is firmly decentralised leaving all control over their data with the archival services contributing them. The liaison group will show how to use the portal facilities as a publishing platform for archival descriptions.
Products
- Enriching the APEnet portal with the contribution of EURBICA members not belonging to the EU;
- A model of portal and a project experience to be shared with other regions within ICA.
