We deliver reading room requests in Turku digitally
- The National Archives delivers reading room requests for the Turku office and interlibrary loans ordered from Turku primarily in digital format.
- Order materials through the Astia online service just as you would for a regular request to the reading room. You will have access to the materials in digital format within 14 days.
Please note the summer break!
- From July 1–31, we will not accept new requests for digital delivery, but all requests made before July 1 will be digitized and made available through our Astia online service. If the materials you ordered have viewing or usage restrictions, they can be accessed on our customer computers during each location’s opening hours. The option to order materials for digital delivery will be available again on the Astia online service starting August 1.
