Historical documents which up until now had only been available as hard copy in certain libraries have been made available on the Vatican's website.
Entire collections of the ‘Actae Sanctae Sedis’ (A.S.S.) and of the ‘Acta Apostolicae Sedis’ (A.A.S.) - i.e., the official Acts of the Holy See from 1865 to 2007 – have been made available in pdf format. As has the twelve-volume collection of the ‘Actes et documents du Saint-Siège relatifs à la Seconde Guerre Mondiale’ published by order of Paul VI starting in 1965, and edited by a specialised group of four Jesuit historians.
