Galician Archives
The Galician Archives, situated in a building adjacent to the Library of Galicia, shall also open to the public towards the end of 2010.
Destined to become the flagship and center of reference for Galicia's archive system, its mission is to receive, keep and render available to citizens all public or private documents in any type of format (paper, video, photographs, audio, etc.) that should be preserved due to their value.
By virtue of its dual nature: administrative and historical-cultural, it shall also keep the documents issued by the activities of the Xunta de Galicia and its dependencies, ensuring access for citizens both at the facilities as well as via the Internet.
By managing the documentary heritage, the Galician Archives shall become a safeguard for a significant part of Galicia's memory, fostering the recovery and valuation of the documentary collections relevant to emigration.
Educators, researchers, creators and artists, as well as the general public may access the documentation they may need for administrative, research or cultural purposes.
