We are delighted to announce a new member to the ICARUS (the International Centre for Archival Research) consortium: ARCHION, Germany's leading internet portal for digital access to historical church registers.
Since its foundation in March 2015, Archion has provided a unique collection of historical sources that enables researchers to browse through millions of church register pages from home and gain valuable insights into the history of their ancestors. Archion is operated by Kirchenbuchportal GmbH, which was founded by the Evangelical Church in Germany together with several regional churches. Currently, more than 180,000 church records with almost 30 million images from 25 archives are available for viewing on Archion, making it a perfect complement to ICARUS' Matricula portal. The extensive collection of historical parish registers can be accessed via a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for researchers to put their genealogical research on a solid, source-based foundation.
The possibilities for online genealogical research are constantly growing, and we look forward to working with Archion in the future!
