The Archives Portal Europe is one of the main milestones achieved by the participants of the APEnet Project supported by the European Commission in the eContentplus Programme. The project's consortium currently consists of twelve national archives/national archive administrations and five associate members:

• Archivos Estatales (Spain)
  
• Archiwa Państwowe (Poland)
  
• Arhiv Republike Slovenije (Slovenia)
  
• Bundesarchiv (Germany)
  
• Γενικά αρχεία του κράτους (Greece)
  
• Direcção-Geral de Arquivos (Portugal)
  
• Direction des Archives de France
  
• Kansallisarkisto (Finland)
  
• Latvijas Arhīvi (Latvia)
  
• Nationaal Archief (The Netherlands)
  
• National Archives of Malta
  
• Riksarkivet (Sweden)
  
• National Archives of Ireland
  
• National Archives of Belgium
  
• Държавна Агенция Арxиви (Bulgaria)
  
• Department of Archives Administration and Records Management of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic
  
• Rahvusarhiiv (Estonia)
  

Users can search across the holdings of 63 institutions with the aid of finding aids (detailed, hierarchically structured descriptions of the archival material in a specific institution's fonds and collections). Finding aids may include links to digitizations of the archival materials at the institutions' own websites. If users need to plan on-site visits to consult the original material, the Directory section--containing contact details and services offered by the different institutions--can be consulted. The directory not only includes those institutions already presenting their archival material in the Archives Portal Europe, but also other institutions from the participating countries whose content is not yet available in the portal.

The American Jewish Newspapers collection enables researchers to investigate Jewish immigration, genealogy, history and so much more.

Jewish immigration exploded in the early 20th century as two million Eastern European Jews fled their homeland into the United States in search of labor. As Jews helped transform American culture, so too, America transformed Jewish thought and reformed their religious practice. The Historical Newspapers: American Jewish Newspapers collection enables researchers to investigate the rise of Zionism and the formation of U.S. policies toward the state of Israel, complemented by Historical Newspaper titles, including The Guardian and the soon to be available Jerusalem Post. Public libraries with large Jewish populations would also have interest in these titles for local history and genealogical research.

American Jewish Newspapers is comprised of four historical U.S. Jewish newspapers.

• The American Hebrew & Jewish Messenger (1857-1922). The American Hebrew was a weekly Jewish newspaper published in New York City. In 1903 it merged with the Jewish Messenger. The paper covered many topics of Jewish interest internationally. Many prominent Jewish writers and communal workers in the United States have been contributors to its pages.
• The Jewish Advocate (1905-1990). The Jewish Advocate serves as a primary source of news and information as well as a forum for discussion and debate, providing lines of communication uniting the community and supporting the efforts aimed at reinvigorating and broadening Jewish religious and cultural life.
• The American Israelite (1854-1922). The American Israelite is the longest-running English-language Jewish newspaper still published in the United States. The newspaper's two goals were to spread the principles of Reform Judaism, and to keep American Jews in touch with Jewish affairs and their religious identity.
• Jewish Exponent (1887-1990). The Jewish Exponent has carried news of developments in Israel, efforts to rescue Jews the world world over from repressive regimes, and the ever-expanding role of Jews in American public life. Along the way, it has garnered honors each year from the American Jewish Press Association for excellence in Jewish journalism for its news, features, reviews and commentary.
