State Archives

The State Archives of Cagliari are an associated organisation of the Ministry for Heritage and Cultural Activities and are dependent on the Archives General Management. Here there are a considerable number of documents that have been produced by state offices from the Middle Ages until the second half of the 20th century.

There are also notary deeds prior to the last hundred years, the archives of the public and ecclesiastical bodies, the archives and the documents acquired by purchase agreement, deposit, donation and inheritance in the form of volumes, envelopes,  cards, parchments, maps, registers, etc. This amount of documents is expected to grow periodically by receiving from the state offices the 40 years old documents.

The State Archives have also the task of ordering, inventorying and enhancing documentary sources through research tools such as guides, inventories, registers, lists, which are provided to users to make the consultation possible.

The Archives also carry out promotion activities, through exhibitions and guided tours as well as educational workshops, with the activation of professional courses through the School of Archives, Paleography and Diplomatic.
