=== Archives specializing in notarial documents  ===


In Spain generally speaking most notarial records can be found in the historical provincial archives for each province. A Google search in Spanish should enable you to locate the contact information for these archives. Use the search terms "'''Archivo histórico provincial de [name of province]'''". You may also find some information about these archives visiting the [[Spain Provinces|province page]] for the area you are researching and then clicking on the link to Archives and Libraries. Access to the records is limited for documents dated within the last 100 years. Records before that time are generally accessible to the public. It is always adviseable to contact an archive before visiting to verify that they have the records for the jurisdiction you are researching. Judicial jurisdictions have changed over time and do not always correspond to present-day jurisdictions. <br>
