Question/answer » Is Open Archives free?

Yes. Searching Open Archives is free. You can view all records, even without an account. You can also view the scans that archives supply for free.

Two kinds of subscriptions

• Trial subscription: free. You create an account and can immediately search, save records as favourites and post comments.
• Plus subscription: € 18 per year. You get extra tools. For example the search monitor, a pedigree from a record and downloading records and search results.

The subscription page has a table with all the differences.

The contributions of Plus subscribers allow Coret Genealogie to keep Open Archives running. That way the website stays free for everyone to use.
