The National Archives’ material search will be reformed, but the deployment of the changes will be delayed by two weeks
During spring 2025, the user interface and search function of the National Archives’ Astia service will undergo significant changes requested by customers.
Unfortunately, we have to postpone the introduction of the changes by two weeks. Even though the reform has been carefully prepared, the finalisation of the functioning of the order basket, among other things, has taken more time than expected.
Please note: The service break on Monday, 14 April, has been cancelled.
User Guidance on 29 April at 4.30 pm
The presentation event for customers will be postponed to Tuesday, 29 April, from 4.30 to 5.30 p.m.
We are sorry for the delay. We want to make sure that the service reform will not cause any unreasonable inconvenience to our customers.
What will change? Find out more in our previous bulletin and see the frequently asked questions.
