More than 13 million documents pertaining to the holocaust and its victims have been published online by Arolsen Archives, in partnership with the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. These documents are part of "UNESCO's Memory of the World" and include items such as prisoner cards, incarceration documents, and death notices. Other items are still being added.

There is other important general holocaust material provided as well. For example, on the Browse Archive page, in "Incarceration Documents 1.1 - Camps and Ghettos", an interactive map showing the location of each of the concentration camps is provided.
