Martti Rapola (1891–1972), a distinguished researcher of Old Literary Finnish and Finnish Dialects, compiled extensive material on 19th-century Literary Finnish, which he organized according to its significance. From these pickings made in the 1930s and 1950s, Rapola’s 19th-century vocabulary was created, comprising a total of 44,000 headwords. Rapola made use of this material in many articles published in the 1940s and 1950s and in a selection published in 1960, named ’Sanojemme ensiesiintymiä Agricolasta Yrjö-Koskiseen’, which, as the name implies, contains a vocabulary established in Literary Finnish.
The material published online is based on the original headwords, which have been selectively submitted as a database. It contains information about a total of 5600 words, divided into 1070 concepts. This is about a quarter of the original data.

The database is built on the ca. 25,000 North Saami entries of Nielsen’s Pohjoissaamen sanakirja [North Saami Dictionary]. The words were incorporated in the database in cooperation with the Finno-Ugric Department of the University of Helsinki. The database includes the variants, as well as the etymological and derivational references at the end of the word articles, given in Nielsen’s dictionary. Each word is also provided with English-language meanings based on the data in Nielsen’s dictionary; Finnish meanings based on Sammallahti’s Saamelais-suomalainen sanakirja [Saami-Finnish dictionary]; and German meanings based on Sammallahti and Nickel’s Saamisch-deutsches Wörterbuch.

This resource is offered by Kotus, Kotimaisten kielten keskus, the Institute for the Languages of Finland. The purpose of the Dictionary of Finnish Dialects is to present the vocabulary of the Finnish dialects based on a large amount of data collected.
The first part of the dictionary, which was planned to contain 20 volumes, was published in 1985. By 2010 eight approximately 1000 pages long volumes were published. These volumes covered the words from the letter “a” to the word “kurvottaa”. In 2010, it was decided that the dictionary should be published from then on in an electronic form as an online service that can be used free of charge. The first part of the online dictionary (kus-kyntsöttää) was published in early 2012, after which the dictionary is to be enlarged with both new and already printed alphabetical parts about once a year. On 22 October 2014 the online dictionary was enlarged to contain the words from ”kala” to ”käävätä.”
The dictionary presents the entire vocabulary of all the Finnish dialects. It does not make a distinction based on whether the word is dialectal or standard / literary. Such a distinction would be to a certain degree impossible, since the vocabulary of standard Finnish is mostly based on the vocabulary of different Finnish dialects.
