Search tool

Search tool for the arTUX archive database

​​The online search tool is part of archium's arTUX database. The presentation of the finding aid data is based on the holdings of your archive, which ideally have already been accessed with the arTUX archive database. Make your community's digital collections accessible to the public in a virtual reading room. The online archive is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of contact restrictions, as the use of archives by visitors is often only possible to a very limited extent during a pandemic. The virtual publication of your archival materials also increases the awareness of your city archive's holdings and thus ensures more attention for your community. With a repertory of your holdings accessible on the Internet, you also promote barrier-free archival research for students, historians and archivists.

​Local contemporary history presented worldwide

​​With the archium® search tool, you can show what historical material is in your archive. Our finding aid can use an interface to use existing archive databases to present the files and documents they contain in a contemporary manner.
