• get_record ~160 tokens
  Read one archival description in full, by its slug (the last part of its URL). Includes dates, names, subjects, places, notes and, where the catalogue provides them, its place in the hierarchy, its number of children, images, and its provenance chain (owners, dates, transfers, certainty
• get_record_image ~369 tokens
  Look at a record's image: returns the reference image itself, so you can describe what it shows, read inscriptions or labels, or judge its condition. Use it before proposing a description for a record whose own text is thin. Only images the caller may view are returned (the reference co
• get_record_text ~397 tokens
  Read the text held for a record's files: text extracted from a PDF or by OCR, and transcriptions of audio or video. Use it for documents, where reading the text beats looking at a small image. Long text comes in pages: if a result says more=true, call again with offset set to offset
• list_catalogues ~62 tokens
  The catalogues this service can search and read. Proposals go to the home catalogue only.
• list_my_proposals ~244 tokens
  List the proposals you made and what became of them, newest first. Each shows the record, the name, place, date or field text proposed, and its status: pending, approved, edited, linked (to an authority record), rejected, new_record_created or parked, with who reviewed it and when. Chec
• propose_access_points_and_dates ~791 tokens
  Propose access points (people, organisations, places) and dates for one record. Read the record with get_record first. Propose only what its text, or a reliable source you name, supports; give the evidence and source URLs for each. For a person or organisation, also give dates_of_existe
• propose_description_change ~358 tokens
  Propose new text for one field of a record, for an archivist to review. text is the complete proposed text for the field, not a fragment: read the record with get_record first and keep what is right in the current text. For a title, propose the title only (at most 1,024 characters).
• propose_relationships ~832 tokens
  Propose relationships between people or organisations that a record states, such as a marriage or parent and child in a family register. Each side must be an existing authority record (give its id from search_authorities) or a person or organisation you have already proposed for thi
• propose_transcription ~311 tokens
  Propose a transcription of a record's file, such as a scanned page with no text. Look at the page with get_record_image first and transcribe what is written, line by line, in its own language and spelling; mark what you cannot read as [illegible] rather than guessing. Use get_record_tex
• propose_translation ~300 tokens
  Propose a translation of one field of a record into another language. language is the target language code, e.g. "en", "af" or "nl". Translate the record's current text for that field faithfully (read it with get_record); keep names, dates and reference codes as they are. An archivist r
• search_authorities ~256 tokens
  Find existing authority records (people, organisations, families) or places by name. Every word must appear in the name, in any order, so "Hendrik Engelbrecht" also finds "Engelbrecht, Hendrik". Use it before proposing a name or place: when one of the results is the same person, organis
