General Archive of the Nation Av. Leandro N, Alem 246 Buenos Aires Telephone: (54 11) 4339-0800 int. 71037 Email: [mailto:comunicacionagn@mininterior.gob.ar comunicacionagn@mininterior.gob.ar] Website: General Archive of the Nation Website #2: Archivo General de la Nación Argentina Website #3: General Archive of the Nation of Argentina


 * The General Archive of the Nation is the repository of a documentary collection of incalculable value for the quantity and quality of the documents it has. This makes it one of the main repositories in Latin America. Its heritage is made up of written, photographic and audiovisual documents, covering a five-hundred-year time span. In him the public and private histories of those who preceded us coexist.

Provincial Archives
In Argentina each province has their own provincial archive and branches separate from those of the national government. Many records of genealogical value are kept by these archives. They serve as repositories for records pertaining to their particular area. The provincial archive of Cordoba has one of the largest collections of the colonial period. This archive is one of the most complete.

Records of genealogical value at provincial archives include:


 * Notarial records.
 * Colonial records.
 * Land records.
 * Administrative records.
 * Military.
 * Census.
 * Historical records.
 * Some church records.
 * Others.

The provincial archives of Argentina are open to the public. However limited access is offered in some of their archives and a letter of recommendation may be required. Addresses for each of the Provincial archives is found in Appendix A on page 42 of the Argentina Research Outline.

Municipal Archives and Local Civil Offices
The provinces are divided into departments which are divided into municipalities. Each municipality has a civil registry office, one or two notaries, civil and criminal courts, and a municipal government to administer all other matters. Every municipality has jurisdiction over their own archives, separate from the province archives. These offices are comparable to county courthouses in the United States.

In Argentina, civil records created by the local government, including birth, death, and marriage records, are kept in local municipal offices. These records are available to the public. For more information about these offices and their records, see Argentina Civil Registration.

You can get information and copies of the records kept at the local civil offices by writing. For help in compiling a letter in Spanish, see the Letter Writing Guide: Spanish ([[Media:LWGSpanish.pdf|36245]]).
