APEF, in full: Stichting Archives Portal Europe Foundation, an international non-profit organisation with a bureau in the municipality of The Hague, established by a Deed of incorporation passed in The Hague on 27 October 2014. In October 2015, at the end of the APEx (Archives Portal Europe network of excellence) project, APEF took over all responsibilities and rights from the APEx project and their predecessor, the APEnet (Archives Portal Europe network) project. The main aim of the foundation is to keep the Archives Portal Europe operational and up to date, thus guaranteeing the sustainability of its technical infrastructure, needed to aggregate the metadata of the participating institutions and deliver that to end-users throughout the world.
