 * The Moquegua Regional Archive was created by Law 25323, which institutionalized the National Archives System of Peru. Thus, the General Archive of the Nation created the Moquegua Regional Archive on November 24, 1976. However, the operation began years later. In 1984, with the financial support of Engineer Luis Pinto Fernández Dávila, president at the time of CORDEMOQUEGUA (Development Corporation of Moquegua), following an agreement with the then Head of the AGN, Enrique Tord, the attention to the public began. The Archive had as its first director Prof. Carlos Salas Rodríguez and six other officials, operating in an environment of the Banco Central Hipotecario del Perú. During that eight-year period, between creation and operation, "the Moquegua Regional Archive was only a piece of paper; the abandonment, deterioration and loss of important documents continued". Regarding the transfer of documentary funds to the Archive, it has been found that Víctor Cutipé Vargas Angulo, "jealous guardian of the invaluable notary fund of Moquegua", had until before the creation of the Moquegua regional archive, a protocol dating from the year 1587, belonging to Diego Dávila.  The relationship with CORDEMOQUEGUA lasted until 1985, after which time it was totally dependent on the AGN. At the time, the Fundación Histórica Tavera describes it this way: "The situation of this archive is somewhat precarious. It does not have any major publications except for a newsletter. Its information instrument is made up of basic inventories".  After the creation of regional governments in Peru, it depends administratively on the Regional Government of Moquegua, exactly on the Regional Management for Social Development.

Only a few of the records of the Archive of the Archbishop of Lima have been indexed, and most of the indexes remain unpublished. Parish records, particularly baptisms, are the most likely to be indexed. Additionally, there are eight volumes of indexes of marriage documents (expedientes matrimoniales). More recent Catholic parish records are kept at the local parish. The diocese keeps the records of parishes that no longer exist. You may write to local parishes and church archives for information. To obtain 20th century documents, you must visit the parish offices and pay a fee.

See Peru Church Directories, Peru Church History, and Peru Church Records for more information.

Municipal Archives
All records created by local governments in Peru, including birth, death, and marriage records, are kept in municipal offices. These offices are comparable to county courthouses and town halls in the United States. Copies of the municipal records are available to the public. For more information about these offices and their records, see Peru Civil Registration.

These archives also house the Libros de Cabildos (minute books), which contain information about local administration, founding of towns, commercial life, markets, sanitation, administration of justice, and social relations. The municipal records of the town of Huamanga are housed in the National Library.

You can get information about the records kept at a particular municipality by writing to the municipal office. See Spanish Letter Writing Guide for instructions on how to write for genealogical information.

 * The National Library has several large collections that are of particular interest to family historians. It is one of the main repositories for primary documents relating to the military. It has one of the most thorough collections of imprints dating from the independence and republican periods, and has extensive collections of pamphlets and memorias. Other documents of interest are land grants (encomiendas), judicial records (judiciales), succession rights (mayorazgos), chaplaincy records (capellanías), chieftainship records (cacicazgos), immovable property of Lima (propiedad inmóvil de Lima), dowries (dotes), parish registers (registros parroquiales), town council minutes (actas de cabildo), and books of the orders and decrees (libros de cédulas y proviciones). The National Library also has registers of the notaries (escribanos) of Lima, Arequipa, and Cuzco.


 * The National Library contains nine rooms where material for various subjects are stored. The collection of the Hall of Research (Sala de Investigaciones) is very diverse and can be accessed through two card catalogs, one arranged by subject and the other chronologically. A fire in 1943 destroyed a large part of the manuscript collection, but following the catastrophe the surviving documents were thoroughly cataloged.

 * The National Museum of Archeology, Anthropology and History of Peru (MNAAHP) is the first museum in Peru; the largest, oldest and most representative of our country. It was the only one that Peru had in the first hundred years of the Republic. It has two different series: Historical Archive and Collections. The first preserves documents from the 16th century and the second, personal and career files of the most important researchers in the country.  Its importance lies in the valuable cultural heritage that it guards in its deposits and repositories, which houses approximately 300,000 pieces that make up the legacy of our pre-Hispanic, colonial and republican past.  The Museum building has an architecture that combines elements from the late Colonial and Republican periods. Along with its exhibitions, it makes this a meeting place with the history of Peru and the ideal place where everyone, regardless of age or place of origin, can discover, relive and question the experiences of our ancestors.
