Upgrades to the Virtual Archival Reading Room

Although the appearance of the virtual reading room remains the same, we have thoroughly upgraded several key functionalities behind the scenes to further enhance the user experience.

As part of the upgrades, we have improved and optimized the search engine for faster and more accurate results, and significantly simplified the ordering process. We integrated new viewers for various types of archival records— from image and text documents to spatial data, databases, e-mail, and document management systems. We have also developed an AI-based virtual assistant to help you search for information about archival records, which will be available soon. At the same time, we have expanded our offerings and increased the number of virtual exhibitions.

Due to the extensive nature of the upgrade, unforeseen technical issues may occur during the initial period. We kindly ask all users to report any irregularities to us (via email at citalnica.ars@gov.si), as this will allow us to resolve them as quickly as possible. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused.

We wish you a pleasant and successful experience using the new version of VARR!
