Matricula- European Church Registers Online
Since the 16th century, parishes of the Roman Catholic Church have kept records of the baptisms, marriages, and deaths of their members. Originally, and most often, these records were kept in the parishes, but in many cases later on they were centralized in the respective diocesan archives. In the last two decades however, the great demand for these records by users in genealogy and other fields of research has become the reason for their digitization. Starting in the Austrian diocese of St. Pölten in 2009, an online platform has evolved into a space where today more than 60 million images from 30 dioceses in Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, and Slovenia are hosted and made freely available to the public: www.matricula-online.eu
The driving force behind the platform is the non-profit organization ICARUS-International Centre for Archival Research, based in Vienna, Austria, which includes nearly 200 archives and research institutions from around the world.
