Arquivo Público, Historic archive in Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Arquivo Público houses municipal records, immigration documentation, governance archives, and historical photographs within a classically designed building in downtown Porto Alegre.
The institution began its records preservation mission in the nineteenth century when Rio Grande do Sul initiated its efforts to document regional development.
Researchers and genealogists access the vast collection of documents detailing immigration patterns, cultural transformations, and social movements throughout Rio Grande do Sul's history.
Visitors can explore the archive collections during regular business hours, with staff members available to assist in locating specific historical documents and records.
The archive maintains original manuscripts and photographs that document the arrival of European settlers and the formation of Porto Alegre's earliest communities.
