System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Open Archieven consolidates genealogical data across multiple Dutch and Belgian archives into a single searchable interface via the free API and optional browser automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API-first search: Use the Open Archieven JSON API to perform fast, structured searches across many archives.
  • Fallback browser automation: Leverage Playwright-based browser automation when API results are insufficient or API is unavailable.
  • Broad archival coverage: Access millions of records across civil registration, church records, population registers, and more.
  • Use Case: Quickly locate a person across unknown municipalities by casting a wide net with name, place, and date filters.

Quick Start

Search for a surname across all Open Archieven records using the API.
