In our reading rooms, you can access a digitized copy of the collections, the digitized version of the Central Name Index, and other special Arolsen Archives catalogs and finding aids.
On-site research visits are free of charge. With a few exceptions, once you have completed your research, you can save the documents you have been using on a new USB flash drive purchased directly from the Arolsen Archives. We charge a fee of €5.00 for the USB flash drive.
If digital versions are not yet available, you can view the original documents on request, provided that there is no conflict with conservation requirements and the state of preservation of the archival materials is not under threat. Please note that at least three working days advance notice must be given when ordering original documents because the archive and the reading rooms are not located on the same premises.
