Abstract
Il portale Antenati e le nuove tecnologie: storie e dati prendono voce
Il portale Antenati, promosso dalla Direzione generale Archivi del Ministero della Cultura, nasce per valorizzare e rendere accessibile online il patrimonio documentario degli Archivi di Stato italiani, in particolare le fonti per la ricerca genealogica come registri di stato civile e liste di leva. Fin dalla sua attivazione, il portale ha rappresentato un punto di riferimento per studiosi e cittadini, evolvendo progressivamente sia in termini di contenuti sia di tecnologie. Oggi, una delle sfide principali è migliorare l’accessibilità delle informazioni attraverso l’indicizzazione dei nomi. In questo contesto, l’impiego dell’intelligenza artificiale consente grandi passi avanti a partire dai documenti digitalizzati, permettono di accelerare i processi, aumentare la qualità dei dati e favorire nuove modalità di ricerca. Questo contributo presenta le prospettive e i risultati nell’ambito del portale Antenati

Abstract
The Antenati Portal and new technologies: stories and data find their voice
The Antenati Portal, promoted by the Directorate-General for Archives of the Ministry of Culture, was created to enhance and provide online access to the documentary heritage of the Italian State Archives, particularly sources for genealogical research such as civil registration records and conscription lists. Since its launch, the portal has become a key reference point for both researchers and the general public, progressively evolving in terms of both content and technology. Today, one of the main challenges is to improve the accessibility of information through the indexing of names. In this context, the use of artificial intelligence enables significant advances based on digitised documents, helping to speed up processes, improve data quality, and support new ways of searching. This contribution presents the perspectives and results related to the Antenati Portal.
