FamilySearch is fantastic. They do require you to make an account to use their website, but it’s free. They are meticulous about records preservation worldwide and expansive about records access, at least when the underlying government archive or agency is not being a hardass about it.

They even have teams filming and photographing records in some of the Ukrainian archives branches right now, even while under siege. They are serious about saving copies of world cultural history, it’s just that they emphasize family history.

Huge respect for their work.
