The Arolsen Archives located at:

Schloßstraße 10
34454 Bad Arolsen

include a permanent exhibition about the creation of the archive and documentation centre for Nazi persecution, and about survivors who were freed and their stories.

The opening times are below. Groups can request appointments by e-mailing visitorgroup@arolsen-archives.org.

Interested parties can use the digital archive in the reading rooms in order to conduct research and/or work in the library. This opportunity is typically used by scientists or in the context of pedagogical projects. However, private individuals can also use the research facilities.

The reading rooms are equipped with a total of 19 computer workstations. A large part of the data has been digitised and can be viewed in the digital archive.

For administrative reasons, it is important that users first complete a research request form and then set up an appointment for their visit. This is also necessary because our staff must provide visitors with an introduction in how to use the database and the available research options.

Of course, non-digitised data are also available for use. However, in this case, retrieval times must be factored in.
