Simple. Human.
With patience.
Archithek should take work off your shoulders — not add more. That's why we handle what we can. And you do what only you can: tell the stories of your community.
AI illustration
What Archithek makes easy for you.
"Approximately" is fine.
Record the day, month or year supported by your source and mark uncertain dates as approximate. An era can be assigned separately; the description explains what remains unknown.
Search and follow connections.
Search finds entered titles and descriptions. Recorded connections lead to related photographs, people, places and documents. Text in attached PDFs is not automatically searched.
You decide what is public.
Some things belong in the shop window, others behind glass. Archithek lets you decide per entry — even per field — what citizens see.
Handle private information thoughtfully.
Public fields and internal notes can be maintained separately. Your team reviews rights, privacy and publication decisions; the software supports this work.
We help you move in.
Excel sheets, shoeboxes, handwritten chronicles — whatever you have, we transfer it together. You don't start from zero.
Grows with you.
You start small — a few photos, a few names. Later families, festivals, houses follow. Archithek becomes more valuable every day.
