Archives and Libraries

• Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
• If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
• Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the Family History Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

The Central Historical Archive holds ecclesiastical books from 1819 to 1921. The books contain records of people born, deceased, and married at that time. Metric books are more or less complete. Some of them were compiled in the rural churches in the late 1819s, some books of concrete years were not transferred to the archive, etc. The program will allow users to determine exactly which district and which village metric books are stored in the Central Historical Archive and for which years.
