Typically, archives are given to Evadoc for safekeeping. Here, the creator remains the owner and thus decides whether or not to allow third parties to view the documents. If required, Evadoc can advise the owner on the decision.
Archives of organizations or churches that no longer exist are generally donated to Evadoc. This means that Evadoc decides on requests for access to documents from these archives.
General guidelines can be found here. The expert will advise and assist you in submitting the archive correctly.
Many people are hesitant to provide pieces that contain personal or sensitive information. Yet this material is invaluable in the long run. Not only does this later give an accurate understanding of history, but lessons can potentially be learned from that history. To guard the privacy of those involved, this material will be kept but not made accessible for the time being. It is only 75-100 years from the date that such records can be accessed. In this, too, the counselor can advise and assist you.
