The attached datasets contain the names of 553 individuals in Indochina by the 31st of December 1939. The pieces of information in the documents were: First- and Surname, profession, address and a personal card number. If provided, these pieces of information were also transcribed. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine; neither a date nor a creator is mentioned.
Multiple datasets generated from the source material, including transcriptions of person entries (names, dates of birth and death where available, profession and often location, remarks and operating unit) and structured person instance data derived from them are provided. Key historic person instance information (appearances in documents), serialized as JSON according to a formal schema is available, together with the JSON Schema itself. This is intended for use by external applications, and can also be searched interactively using a DPCL presentation website (see below) which explains the datasets further. In contrast to transcription data, which represents the printed and hand-written source material, and is often organized inconsistently, the historic person instance data provided here enables reliable searching across multiple archival sources. The historic person instance JSON is lightweight to enable scalability across large numbers of sub-collections/archives: it does not contain all of the information sometimes transcribed, such as remarks and military operating unit. However it does provide IIIF canvas IDs, connecting the person instance to the page in the source document where it originally occurred.
Where annotations can be generated from transcriptions they are provided as Web Annotation Data Model (WADM) annotation collections serialized as JSON, which are linked to source documents via PIDs. The annotation data can be used independently with the IIIF service provided here, to connect person instances interactively to their occurrence in the source documents. Provided principally for analysis preservation and verification purposes, the transcription data is less suitable for automated searching than the historic person instance JSON (above).
These datasets are also deposited in the Zenodo global catch-all repository as record DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7065129.

The attached records contain the names of the 80 European police personnel who participated in passive defense during the bombardment of Phnom Penh on February 7, 1945. These individuals were recommended for distinguished service. The original documents, now in the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence, were compiled in April 1950.

The attached dataset contains information about 48 Vietnamese who, by 14th September 1945, were named to the Cour d'Appel in Saigon and the Tribunals in Cochinchina. Next to the individual's name, his new position and function prior to the Japanese Coup d'État on the 9th March 1945 is included in the list. All information has been transcribed. Original documents now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence were compiled on 14th September 1945.

The attached datasets contain the names of 69 French citizens who reference a dossier with Information about commissioners and principals. While the entry date into Indochina is given, little is known about the list's purpose. Furthermore, no date of creation could be established. The original documents are now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence.

The attached dataset contains information about 190 Vietnamese who replaced the French Personnel at the tribunals in Cochinchina Province. The Personnel was needed after most of the previous European staff was forced to or volunteered to leave their positions after the Japanese Coup d'État of 9 March 1945. The list contains the person's name, their position, and the tribunal they were attached to. Original documents now held at the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence, were compiled in 1945.
