Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

• basia_search

  Search BaSIA, the Wielkopolska archival index tied to call numbers and scans. Every row carries the archive, the call number and scan as BaSIA gives them, the unit's address on szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl (a person opens it in a browser), BaSIA's id, and a warning: BaSIA's middle (series) number can differ from the archive's, so cite the Sygnatura from the unit page. BaSIA lists at most 250 entries per search. Its coverage is whatever its volunteers have done: a zero is weak evidence.

• cache_status

  Report this session's requests, by site, and cache use. Makes no network call.

• geneteka_coverage

  List the registers Geneteka has indexed for a parish: record type, years, and rid. Check this before trusting a zero from geneteka_search: a parish or year not listed here was never searched. Years are exactly as Geneteka lists them, gaps included ('1741-55,90,98' is 1741-1755, 1790, 1798). A register is named by its parish, not by each village in it. Pass a rid to geneteka_search to search one register.

• geneteka_search

  Search Geneteka's index of one region, or of one register with rid. Each row has the year and entry (act) number, the people, any indexer notes (often a date or village), the custodian holding the book, and any scan link (a Szukaj w Archiwach unit page opens in a browser). A zero covers only the registers and years searched: check geneteka_coverage. One page per call; ask for the next page rather than assuming the first is all.

• poznan_search

  Search the Poznań Project's marriages, 1800-1899, Wielkopolska and Kujawy. Each row has the parish, entry and year, groom and bride with ages and parents, how closely each surname matched, and who holds the original register. Given names are matched to the project's name groups (Joannes / Jan / Johann); a name in no group returns the groups. Too many matches come back as too_many_results, never as a zero.

• regions

  List Geneteka's region codes and names. Makes no network call. Pass a code as `region` to geneteka_coverage or geneteka_search. Regions are today's Polish voivodeships plus Warsaw, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and 'other'. Most of the Prussian Provinz Posen is 15wp.

• swa_scan

  Download one full-size scan (about 3500 px) from Szukaj w Archiwach's photo host. The unit page itself is behind a bot check: a person opens it in a browser, reads the Sygnatura, and takes each scan's hash from its image address. The scan is written to `destination`, never returned inline: a new .jpg or .jpeg, not hidden, not under ~/Library, and inside the operator's download folder when one is set. Cite it by the Sygnatura and scan number, not by this address.
