As of July 2010 digitized records are not accessible from this site. The immediate goal is to facilitate access to parish registers by making it easier to see which records are available at a given archive and what years they cover. This is accomplished through online inventories and church records database.  Longer term, however, the participating archives intend to make digital images of their church records available on the Internet. Access will be fee-based to help defray the cost of the neccessary equipment. A pilot project can be viewed at [http://www.matricula.findbuch.net/php/main.php?ar_id=3670 Matricula.eu], where church books for several Catholic parishes from the Passau, Bavaria area and Evangelical church books from the Gelnhausen, Hessen-Nassau area are already available without charge.
