Providing a monthly update of newly uploaded docs is hardly difficult or time consuming, regardless of who performs the scanning, and it helps those who are not necessarily entering search terms, but who browse for interesting items. I 'search' for specifics items every time I visit, which is usually not a problem, but I also want to browse through them, hoping to find things I hadn't considered searching for. Furthermore, entering search terms does not always succeed, since many of the subject descriptions which searching depends on are vague, brief, or misleading.
Have you ever considered searching in the NARA files? Their descriptions are top quality.
Me, sarcastic? Me?
Sorry to say (again), but to me you sound so spoiled.
I know for a fact that employees of the Bundesarchiv also read these messages, so your job application is sent.
