Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
cache_statusReport this session's requests, the pacing, cache use, and whether images are on. Makes no network call.
matricula_page_imageSave one page image with its citation, if the operator has turned image access on. Image access is off unless ICARUS has granted it: Matricula's image host refuses scripted requests. While it is off, this answers `images_not_enabled` with the page's viewer link, label and citation, and writes nothing. When on, the file is a new .jpg, not hidden, not under ~/Library, and inside the operator's download folder when one is set.
matricula_parishesList the parishes of one diocese or archive, with their coordinates. Names are matched as Matricula writes them; a village that was not a parish is found through matricula_search, which reads the parishes' descriptions. `about` is the section's own note, often naming the archive and how to reach it: the place to report a publication.
matricula_registerRead one register: its description, citation, and every page's label and viewer link. A page's `url` opens it in Matricula's own viewer for a person to read; `page` is the image's position, the number to cite with the label. A label (e.g. '02-Taufe_0001', '001-03_0004-r') is a finding aid naming the section or folio; it is not a date. A register with no pages shows no images, often because the law closes it.
matricula_registersList a parish's registers: signature, type, dates, notes, and each one's key. `type` is the archive's own word (Taufen, Trauungen, Sterben, Index - ...); `kind` is this server's reading of it. Page counts and page links come from matricula_register. A register with `hosted_elsewhere` is shown on the archive's own site, not in Matricula's viewer. A gap in the years may be a register closed by law, unscanned, or lost.
matricula_searchSearch Matricula's place index: which parishes name this place. It matches parish names and the village lists and histories archives wrote into parish descriptions (`snippet` shows where), so it finds the parish a village belonged to. It never searches the registers' entries: no name of a person is found this way. Searches are slow by design, at least ten seconds apart.
matricula_sectionsList Matricula's countries and, in each, its sections: the dioceses and archives. A section's key is what matricula_parishes takes. `parishes` is Matricula's own count. The first call for every country reads about a dozen pages, two seconds apart; after that the list is cached for four weeks.
