Question/answer » How do I refer to a record on Open Archives?

Every record has a permanent link. That link keeps working, even after years. You find it on the record page under Web address. The link looks like this:

https://www.openarchieven.nl/bhi:062184ef-70ef-7e1f-62b3-931793a8ad30

The first part is the code of the archive. The second part is the number of the record at that archive.

Source citation

Under Source citation you find everything you need: archive, source type, place, inventory number and record number. Copy these details into your family tree. Add the Open Archives link. Then you easily find the record again later.

Sharing

With the button Share this page you send the link to a relative or post it on social media. With a Plus subscription you can also download the record as a PDF. The source citation is already included in it.
