摘要：

We describe FastCat Catalogues, a web application that supports researchers studying archival material, such as historians, in exploring and quantitatively analysing the data (transcripts) of archival documents. The application was designed based on real information needs provided by a large group of researchers, makes use of JSON technology, and is configurable for use over any type of archival documents whose contents have been transcribed and exported in JSON format. The supported functionalities include a) sourceor record-specific entity browsing, b) source-independent entity browsing, c) data filtering, d) inspection of provenance information, e) data aggregation and visualisation in charts, f) table and chart data export for further (external) analysis. The application is provided as open source and is currently used by historians in maritime history research.
