General Archive of the Spanish Civil War

The General Archive of the Spanish Civil War contains thousands of documents, photographs, and records documenting the conflict period from 1936 to 1939.

The archive originated from materials confiscated during the Spanish Civil War, with the building serving as a collection center for seized documents since 1937.

Researchers and historians access primary sources including newspapers, personal letters, military reports, and propaganda materials that detail Spanish society during the 1930s.

The archive opens Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, requiring visitors to register and present identification before accessing the collections.

The facility maintains records of Spanish citizens who were detained in Nazi concentration camps during World War II following the Civil War period.
