:The organization of the collections in the Archive is governed by the principle of origin, that is, the disposition they had in the original deposits, or the order in which the different donors organized it, is maintained. Collections are classified with the name of the deposit, the agency or the donor. Documentary funds cover the 18th centuries to the present. Among the most outstanding funds are the administrative history of the Park, which contains documentation on its background. In addition, some documentary resources come from New York, Washington, and US Army funds, among others. It also includes historical preservation projects that have been carried out in the Murada City, in which the reconditioning processes in the fortifications of the Isleta de San Juan are detailed. Also, documentation of the Spanish Crown, and Tomás O'Reilly (18th century). In addition, the Archive retains documents on the work that has been done on the time of the attacks on San Juan by the English navy and documentation from the Public Record Office in London (General Archive of Great Britain), among others. Currently, the Archive contains about 120,000 cataloged pieces. These relate to Puerto Rican military history, that of the Caribbean, and that of the whole of America, from the establishment of Europeans in the archipelago, especially on the Island of San Juan Bautista, to the present. | :The organization of the collections in the Archive is governed by the principle of origin, that is, the disposition they had in the original deposits, or the order in which the different donors organized it, is maintained.
