The Virtual Archive Landscape of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern offers a comprehensive platform to obtain information about the archives and their holdings in the region. Users can navigate through the various archives using a map or by categories.
The main mission of the Virtual Archive Landscape is to preserve and make accessible the cultural heritage of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Important values include the preservation of historical documents, the promotion of historical education, and the support of research.
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the efforts towards digitization and online availability of the archive holdings contribute to the long-term preservation of cultural heritage. These initiatives also promote access to historical information for future generations.
The Virtual Archive Landscape is closely connected with the State Association of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Verband deutscher Archivarinnen und Archivare e. V. (VdA), which is committed to the training of new professionals and the organization of further education measures. The state association ceased its work as a regional group in October 2021, but the Virtual Archive Landscape remains an important part of the archival landscape in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
