Archivos eclesiásticos

Archivos eclesiásticos are the archives maintained by religious institutions, primarily the Catholic Church, that store important documents related to their history, administration, and activities. These archives include records such as birth, marriage, and death registers, correspondences, manuscripts, and administrative files. They serve as vital resources for historical research, genealogical studies, and understanding the church’s role in society. Preserved with care, these collections offer insights into religious, cultural, and social developments over centuries, reflecting the church's influence and the lives of the communities it has served.
