Case Study: Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial modernizes archive management and research with FORMAT D

Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial migrates 1,300-page archive with FORMAT D

The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial required a comprehensive migration of its large historical data archive onto a sustainable, future-proof technical basis. The challenge for vendor Format D was to structurally analyze and reorganize this vast amount of data to ensure efficient daily use and enable targeted research for both internal staff and external users.

Format D developed a powerful system using the Neos CMS and a Vue.js frontend with Elasticsearch for high-performance indexing. The solution enables the efficient management and linking of personal, material, and administrative data, guaranteeing clean provision, archiving, and targeted research of the historically important information. This successful technical implementation by Format D ensures the preservation of this critical contemporary historical material for the work of remembrance.
