Archeion journal is an open access journal, which means granting open and free access to all content, with no time limit.

From volume 119 (for 2018) onwards, the journal has been digitally archived in the POLONA Digital Repository of the National Library under the law on mandatory submission of a copy to the national library holdings.
 

As part of the open access policy for all published content, volumes 1 to 50 (for the years 1927-1968) as well as from volume 95 (for 1995) to the current volume of the Archeion are made available in open access digital form on the Publisher's website. Volumes 51 to 94 (for 1969-1994), published in accordance with the legislation in force at the time, will be made available gradually as copyright protection expires.

We aim to archive the texts in a variety of databases for greater accessibility.
