Archivo Histórico Provincial de Sevilla

The Archivo Histórico Provincial de Sevilla is an archive in the southern Spanish city that holds a large collection of documents, photographs, and maps. These materials span several centuries and document the region's development.

The institution was founded in 1987 as a centralized place to collect and preserve administrative records from provincial government offices. This allowed scattered records to be organized systematically and secured for the future.

The archive holds notarial records, civil registers, and church documents that show how society in Seville changed over centuries. These papers tell everyday stories of people from different social backgrounds and eras.

Visitors must register and show identification to use the reading room during weekday hours. Staff members help locate and access the materials you are looking for.

The archive holds rare manuscripts from the 15th century that contain detailed accounts of maritime trade between Seville and the Americas. These historical records offer fascinating insights into the early phase of transatlantic commerce.
