B1 Online Archiver

[Mariam Obregon]

Georeferenced documents help you search for information about the death marches: Find locations mentioned in the documents in a map view, and use the map to find the documents for a specific location.

The general inventory is an overview of the collection of the Arolsen Archives. If you want to find information on or do research on topics related to either the Nazi or the post-war period, you can find out here which topics are covered by the collection. It is particularly worthwhile searching here if you want to find out more about documents that are not yet available in the online archive.

Did you know that the Arolsen Archives have 50 million reference cards with information on 17.5 million people? And that this makes them a truly unique memorial made of paper and documenting Nazi crimes and their consequences? Other interesting information on the Central Name Index and other special collections of the archive can be found here.

Almost all documents related to concentration camps are perpetrator documents. This means that they were created by and used by National Socialists in concentration camp administrations. Most notably, the information given on the physical characteristics of the inmates or on the reasons for their imprisonment is racist and degrading. So the information in the documents must be viewed extremely critically. You must be aware of this when you work with them. The e-Guide can help you to understand the documents in their context. It contains simple and interactive explanatory information on all the common types of document: who created the documents and why, what information do the documents contain and what is important to consider when dealing with the documents. You can find the e-Guide here.

Every member state of the International Committee of the Arolsen Archives has the right to hold a copy of our complete digital holdings and can make this copy accessible. This means that research cannot only be carried out in Bad Arolsen, but also abroad. The copies are updated on an annual basis and are held by the following institutions:

The same terms of use apply to the use of the online archive as for visiting the Arolsen Archives. The International Committee, as the highest governing body, has defined these terms of use. They do not comply with German or other national archive law.

Please note that the online archive contains sensitive data on the victims of National Socialist persecution. This data may include information about religious affiliation, family background, health, sexual orientation and world view, membership of trade unions or political parties and also criminal records.

All users of the online archive are personally responsible for complying with data protection rights and other laws. This includes the interests of other people who are affected as well as generally accepted practices relating to personal data. The Arolsen Archives cannot be held responsible for publications which result from the use of the collections.

Is there an easier user friendly method to importing PSTs into an Online Archive than using the Import wizard in the Outlook client? We had planned to have this done automatically, but COVID-19 has put a delay on it, but I'd like to potentially give user's an opportunity to do it themselves if they want, which will speed up the automatic process when we're able to perform it.

The Import wizard in Outlook is good, but it takes time and stops the use of the Outlook client. I'm wondering if there's something else that can be done in the background, perhaps a script of sorts that can be run?

I'm always quite nervous about the idea of users trying to do this sort of thing themselves. Where are the PST files stored please? Are they on each users device or on a network share? If they are on the network in a central location, then you are able to use the Import PST feature from the M365 Security and Compliance Center to upload your PST files to Azure storage, and then map them to the correct user mailboxes or their online archives. The process is detailed here - -us/microsoft-365/compliance/importing-pst-files-to-office-365?view=o36...

Thanks for the response, appreciated. The PST files are stored on the user's hard drives. We recently moved to Outlook in the cloud, with a substantial mailbox increase, so some user's have manually moved their PST files into their main mailbox anyway. Our plan was to ingest them into the Online Archive for the user, to get the PSTs away from being solely on their hard drive - and therefore a single point of failure - but also to not unnecessarily consume their 99GB mailbox.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we can't really afford to do this over our VPN, so I have been looking at other options to help users as much as possible. We've recently launched OneDrive and the Known Folder Move, so PSTs not syncing to OD is bringing up an error message when booting up Outlook for the first time. It's easy to remediate, but wouldn't have been an issue had we managed to do the migration prior to the launch of OneDrive as originally planned.

I suppose what I'm getting it as I want an optional method to promote to the business should they want to do it themselves, but isn't quite as reckless / sluggish as manually dragging a folder into their main mailbox, as they currently might be doing as an alternative.

Use the information in this article to enable or disable an archive mailbox by using the Exchange admin portal or by using PowerShell. Also learn how to run an automated diagnostic check on a user's archive mailbox to identify any problems and suggested resolutions.

You must be assigned the Mail Recipients role in Exchange Online to enable or disable archive mailboxes. By default, this role is assigned to the Recipient Management and Organization Management role groups on the Permissions page in the Exchange admin center.

The default archive policy that is part of the retention policy assigned to Exchange Online mailboxes moves items to the archive mailbox two years after the date the item was delivered to the mailbox or created by the user. For more information, see Learn about archive mailboxes.

It might take a few moments to create the archive mailbox. When it's created, Active is displayed in the Archive status column for the selected user, although you might need to refresh the page to see the change of status.

Similarly to how you enable an archive mailbox, you can use the same configuration in the Exchange admin center to disable a user's archive mailbox. This time, turn Mailbox archive off in the Exchange admin center.

After you disable an archive mailbox, you can reconnect it to the user's primary mailbox within 30 days of disabling it. In this case, the original contents of the archive mailbox are restored. After 30 days, the contents of the original archive mailbox are permanently deleted and can't be recovered. So if you re-enable the archive more than 30 days after disabling it, a new archive mailbox is created.

The default archive policy assigned to users' mailboxes moves items to the archive mailbox two years after the date the item is delivered. If you disable a user's archive mailbox, no action will be taken on mailbox items and they'll remain in the user's primary mailbox.

You must be a Microsoft 365 global admin to use the archive mailbox diagnostic check. Also, this feature isn't available in Microsoft 365 Government clouds, Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet, or Microsoft 365 Germany.

Explain to users how their archive mailbox works, and how they can interact with it in Outlook on Windows, macOS, and the web. The most effective documentation will be customized for your organization. But for basic instructions, see Manage email storage with online archive mailboxes.
