National Archive and Library of Bolivia

The National Archive and Library of Bolivia contains over 114,000 volumes of documents, manuscripts, and books within its extensive collection system.

Established in 1825 during Bolivia's independence, this institution became the first national repository for governmental and historical documents in the country.

The institution maintains collections of colonial-era manuscripts, maps, and documents that detail the development of Bolivian society through centuries.

Researchers can access the archives and library collections at Dalence Street 4 in Sucre, where staff provides guidance for document retrieval.

The facility implements an ongoing digitization project to preserve ancient manuscripts while making historical records accessible to global researchers.
