Digitální badatelna — Zemský archiv v Opavě

The Silesian Land Archive's own digital reading room, and the other half of Czech Moravia-Silesia that provider `actapublica` does not cover — its row says the regional archives each publish their own and this is the Opava one. ELEVEN ARCHIVES IN ONE SEARCH: the land archive itself, its Olomouc branch, and the district archives (SOkA) of Bruntál-Krnov, Frýdek-Místek, Jeseník, Karviná, Nový Jičín, Olomouc, Opava, Prostějov, Přerov and Šumperk. 2,511,688 records and 20,689,527 digital attachments on the day this was checked, and it is actively grown — 574 records were added that day. FAR MORE THAN REGISTERS. `Matriky` are the parish registers (birth, marriage and death, Catholic and Protestant), but the same search also reaches `Sčítání` census returns down to the individual household sheet, `Pozemkové knihy` land books, `Kroniky` chronicles, `Kartotéky` card indexes including police registration cards for a town, `Třídní výkazy` school class registers, maps, photographs and charters. For a family that stayed put, the census sheet and the police card say what a register cannot. A SEARCH CAN BE HANDED TO SOMEBODY: /da/searchlink/<hash> is a stable address for a result set — checked on a Catholic birth-register search for Olomouc Sv. Michal 1760-1851, which returned 1,412 images with no account and no challenge. ONE CAVEAT, RECORDED BECAUSE IT WAS MET. The host sits behind a Radware bot manager, and an automated request is redirected to /da/human/challenge. A person in a browser passes it without noticing; a script does not, and this atlas does not work around bot gates. So the row is `free` for a reader, and anything automated should expect the challenge rather than treat it as the site being down.
