Archives and Libraries

• 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.

"The San Marino-Montefeltro Diocesan Archives based in Pennabilli in the former seminary Feretrano, preserves the documentary material produced by the Diocese over the centuries and collects the archives of individual parishes. The oldest documents date back to 1500 and there are many scrolls. The documentation, very rich, is an indispensable source for the history of the Montefeltro and San Marino, the diocese, in fact, it has been for centuries the main reference point for a politically divided territory between several lordships."
