===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. Records of genealogical value at provincial archives include: notarial records, colonial records, land records, administrative records, military, census, historical records, church records, and more. For example, the provincial archive of Cordoba has one of the largest collections of the colonial period. | In Argentina each province has their own provincial archive and branches separate from those of the national government.

=== Municipal Archives and Local Civil Offices | ===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. | The provinces are divided into departments which are divided into municipalities.
