Within the organizational framework of the Hungarian National Archives, the Family History Research Center should be established before March 31, 2022. The digitized birth certificates will be suitable for family tree research, the government has decided.
In a resolution published in the Hungarian Gazette, the government instructed the Minister of Human Resources within the organizational framework of the Hungarian National Archives, establishing the Family History Research Center.
As a first step originated between 1895-1980 copies of public records, kept in a public archive, must be digitized. The “methodological support” for family history research will be available free of charge in the resulting database. History fraud investigation, on the other hand, can be used for a fee; this is how the decision can be interpreted. According to the other interpretation, anyone who does research in the database can do it for free and whoever needs the help of the research center will have to pay.
The government approved HUF 500 million from the 2022 budget for digitization. The establishment of the research center will cost HUF 443 million, which can also be paid from the 2022 budget. After that, HUF 112 million can be spent on annual operations.
Finally, the government instructed the Minister of Human Resources, with the participation of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Justice, to review data protection legislation on the processing of data used as a source of family history investigation and to make a proposal to comply with the general rules on access to personal data. The deadline for this is December 31, 2022.
