The History of Slovenia – SIstory portal has been established as part of activities carried out by the Research Infrastructure of Slovenian Historiography. The SIstory portal is an online system of Slovenian historiography, which not only enables access to historical content relevant for the study of Slovenian history but also offers the possibility to create research data and use it in a research environment.

The portal provides quick, easy, free and open access to verified digital and digitized material to which the Creative Commons licenses are attached. The user has to follow the general Terms of use and instructions for source citing. They can access the material via:

• Navigation (menu system)
• Search engines

IT professionals can access the metadata relating to material from the SIstory portal:

• Via the application programming interface (API) or directly via RestApi
• Via the Protocol for metadata harvesting
• As RDFa on the frontend of the digital objects

The OCR of the digitised PDF files included in older SIstory publications (35.000 less than SISTORY:ID) is still accessible via XML. An ID is the SISTORY:ID of the publication containing the PDF file.
