:According to the information available in the Census-Guide of Archives of Spain and Ibero-America, the Regional Archive of La Libertad was founded on January 28, 1974.  The location has an area of ​​1,200 square meters, with "18 documentary repositories, Research Room, Room and Gallery of Exhibitions, three administrative offices, Work Room, Binding Workshop, entrance hall and five bathrooms."  The architectural and historical value of the building is compared to the importance of the heritage protected inside: "The importance of the premises is compatible with the significance [sic] of the rich documentary heritage it guards". Despite this cultural link between content and continent, the structure is in a less than optimal state. The roof, to be more precise, has cracks through which rainwater enters the historic building. According to the statement of its director Napoleón Cieza, in 2014 the Regional Government was asked for an economic item for its repair.

:It was officially created on November 24, 1976 as the Departmental Archive of Loreto. According to the information available in the Census-Guide, "the Loretan authorities were interested in preserving [the rich historical documentation that it possessed] and organizing it, for which they managed, in 1976, before the National Institute of Culture, the opening of the Departmental Archive of Loreto, based in the city of Iquitos."  However, it took twelve years for this archive to start operating, marked on October 1, 1988. The address of this new institution fell into Máximo García Fernández. One of his first tasks will be the collection of documentation from different rooms, such as the Loreto Tax Office.  In 1998, 22 years after its foundation, it suffered a tragic fire, within attacks throughout the city of Iquitos. Because of which all his funds were reduced to ashes.

: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.

:According to Fundación Tavera, the Puno Regional Archive is divided into three series: Historical, Notaries and Notaries, and Administrative.  One of the projects that the Puno Regional Archive started was the so-called "Civil Registry Fund Digitization Project". From its inception in February 2012 to September 2013, 562 thousand 920 birth certificates had been digitized from those from Puno, Huancané, Azángaro and San Román, which come from the years 1890 and 1998.  The digitization process has consisted of photographic capture, indexing and publication, as reported in 2013 by the then Director of the Puno Regional Archive, Ricardo Chura. In the same way, thanks to this project it will be possible to have access to the database of Public Deeds of the former notaries.

:Its definitive locality is known as "Legal House" (Zela N ° 716), where 50% of the property is occupied. This building has historical value for its antiquity - erected in 1901 - and for being the place where the reincorporation of Tacna to the Peruvian state was signed in 1929. In October 2014 the infrastructure of this building, declared a Historical Monument of the Nation, underwent a reform to strengthen the deteriorated areas. Such works were financed by the Regional Government of Tacna, allocating a budget of 150 thousand soles.  At the end of 2013, the Tacna Regional Archive announced the start of the project to digitize the newspapers that "were circulating during the time of the Chilean occupation." According to the Diario Correo newspaper, Lanchipa Palza, director of the Tacna Regional Archive, stated: “With a digitization project, the newspapers from the Captivity period from the years 1880 to 1929, will be the first to digitize. Some of these specimens are deteriorated”.  This project, initiative of the Regional Government of Tacna, includes thirty newspapers, among which have been indicated: "La voz del Sur", "El Tacora", "El Progresista", "La Mercantil Mercantil", "Concordia", "Independiente ”,“ El Tacneño ”and“ El Mensajero ”. The latter stands out for circulating since 1840 and being the first to be printed in Tacna.

Few guides, indexes, or inventories have been published, but in the archive there are several that can be used on site. For information about the archive, see: Vargas Ugarte,Rubén, S.J. “El Archivo Arzobispal de Lima,” in Handbook of Latin American Studies, 1936. (Cambridge, Mass.: 1937), 443–48.  Only a few of the records of the Archive of the Archbishop of Lima have been indexed, and most of the indexes remain unpublished.

: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.
==Record Offices==


:The Lima Metropolitan Museum offers an audiovisual tour of the pre-Hispanic, viceregal and republican history of the city of Lima. The museum offers scenographies and audiovisual projections in 2D, 3D and 4D. In addition, the Museum's temporary exhibition room manages exhibition proposals that reflect on the history, society and culture of Lima. On the other hand, the Museum has a Children's Reading Room and a Library, and carries out various cultural events and activities aimed at the entire community.
The Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Superior de Justicia) in Lima, Peru has duplicates of civil registration records. If your request to the municipality is unsuccessful, write for records sent to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic (Corte Superior de Justicia de la República).

===Writing to a Municipality for Records===
Plaza Bolivar s / n Pueblo Libre<br>
Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Oficina del Registro Civil) in each municipality. You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. A civil registration district may include several towns or a small section of a large city. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see [[Peru Gazetteers]]). In addition to the town, you need to know an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred.'''''This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.'''''<br>

  • 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.

Municipal Archives[edit | edit source]

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.

Church Archives[edit | edit source]

The Catholic Church has gathered the early church records from the dioceses into a centralized archive. Six of Lima's seven parishes store their pre-1900 records in the Archive of the Archbishopric of Lima (Archivo Arzobispal de Lima).

Archbishop Archives of Lima

The Archive of the Archbishop of Lima has documentation since 1543 on visitations (visitas), holy works (obras pias), tithing (diezmos), property, and divorce. Parish records, particularly baptisms, are the most likely to be indexed. Additionally, there are eight volumes of indexes of marriage documents (expedientes matrimoniales). The diocese keeps the records of parishes that no longer exist.

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. 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.

Writing to a Municipality for Records[edit | edit source]

Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office (Oficina del Registro Civil) in each municipality. You must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. A civil registration district may include several towns or a small section of a large city. You may need to use gazetteers and other geographic references to identify the place your ancestor lived and the civil registration office that served it (see Peru Gazetteers). In addition to the town, you need to know an approximate year in which the birth, marriage, divorce, or death occurred.This method is not always reliable. Officials might or might not respond.
Write a brief request in Spanish to the proper office using this address as a guide replacing the information in parentheses:

Oficino del Registro Civil
(street name, number)
(city), (region)
(postal code)
