Customer feedback
It was fascinating to read the old, original documents. It almost brings the era to life before the reader's eyes.
Without Arcanum, I can hardly progress in my research work today. In fact, using the complex search engine has opened up possibilities that were previously unimaginable.
It was fantastic to find articles about my ancestors!! Thank you so much for your work! Today I just found a nice article about my great grandfather, but I can also download a lot of valuable information about my grandfather from your site! Thank you for that!
The editors and authors of Revizor also regularly and profitably consult, or rather browse, the Arcanum database. Searching for past theatre performances, from the Színház journal of the year before last to the first issue of the Délibáb - Nemzeti Színházi Lap, in 1853.
We would like to congratulate and thank you very much for this fantastic opportunity. I've had a little look at the archives, and it's just incredible. One moment I'm looking at my sporting achievements from 35 years ago, then 2 minutes later I'm looking at my grandfather's admission to the bar in 1940 from 71 year-old gazette. We wish you all the best of luck with this fantastic database and archive! I immediately became a subscriber of course! :)
