Introduction[edit | edit source]

  • 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 Family History Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

Regional and Municipal Archives[edit | edit source]

  • The provincial archives are located in the capital of each of the 12 provinces.
  • Municipal archives exist for most large towns. They contain the same type of genealogical records found in the state archives.
  • The Family History Library has microfilmed many records from these archives.
  • Each archive collects records from its respective province. Records of genealogical value at these archives include:
  • Church records.
  • Civil registrations.
  • Population registers.
  • Censuses.
  • Court records.
  • Military records.
  • Emigration lists.
  • Notarial records.
  • Land records.
  • Tax records.
