-===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 [[Media:LWGSpanish.pdf|Letter Writing Guide: Spanish]].
