Exactly 10 years ago, on 20 March 2015, Archion went live - with a modest stock, few partner archives, and a small but committed community of users. Today, one decade later, we are looking back at an impressive development...
In 2019, the Regional Church Archive in Nuremberg had already presented 8000 historic church books online on Archion, when the Protestant-Lutheran Church in Bavaria provided financial means for the digitization of its remaining inventory. Thus, it became possible to record, edit, digitize and, as far as privacy regulations allow, make available the church records of all Bavarian deanships on Archion by 2030.
There are no less than three new functions to manage and organize the bookmarks:
1. Searching for bookmarks
2. Favoring bookmarks
3. Assigning tags for bookmarks
