Introduction

 * Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
 * If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
 * Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

Regional and Municipal Archives

 * The provincial archives are located in the capital of each of the 12 provinces.
 * Municipal archives exist for most large towns. They contain the same type of genealogical records found in the state archives.
 * The FamilySearch Library has microfilmed many records from these archives.
 * Each archive collects records from its respective province. Records of genealogical value at these archives include:
