From the AP article:

The director of the largest archive of Nazi death camp records sought approval Wednesday to prepare the documents for international access, saying he expects the long-closed collection will be ready for research within a year.

Reto Meister, head of the International Tracing Service that runs the archive in the German spa town of Bad Arolsen, said the core documents _ incarceration records, death catalogs, camp registries and transportation lists _ will be digitally scanned and ready for transfer to Holocaust institutions within two months.
