Since October 2019, CEREHIS, in cooperation with Gróf Andrássy Gyula Alapítvány has been digitising the Andrássy family archive to process and preserve this rich collection in digital form for future generations and make it accessible to future users. Its oldest documents date from 1290 and come mainly from the former Andrássy estates of Krásna Hôrka and Betliar. The first phase took place at the Spiš Archive in Levoča. The second phase began on 1 March 2020, but work was interrupted by the spread of COVID-19.
In 2021, the historical collections were transferred to the Rožňava branch of the State Archive in Košice. The first boxes returned from Levoča to Gemer on 11 May 2021, a welcome development for many supporters of local culture and history. The entire collection, comprising more than 1,250 boxes covering the years 1290–1948, was gradually moved. The transfer was made possible partly by investment from the Slovak Ministry of the Interior in new storage facilities, specifically mobile archival shelving.
Following interruptions and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project resumed in 2023 with the digitisation of the archive of the Monok branch of the Andrássy family. The archived project description records that finishing work was under way, with completion expected in 2024.
The documents vary in type and come from several estates. They include account books and maps, the latter digitised using large-format equipment. Cooperation with the Slovak National Museum also enables photographic collections to be processed, including archival photographs and family albums.
The project will result in a complete digital library of more than a million pages, providing a future basis for exhibitions, publications and research collaborations. It is intended to become available to specialists and the wider public in the coming years.
