 * The Moquegua Regional Archive was created by Law 25323, which institutionalized the National Archives System of Peru. Thus, the General Archive of the Nation created the Moquegua Regional Archive on November 24, 1976. However, the operation began years later. In 1984, with the financial support of Engineer Luis Pinto Fernández Dávila, president at the time of CORDEMOQUEGUA (Development Corporation of Moquegua), following an agreement with the then Head of the AGN, Enrique Tord, the attention to the public began. The Archive had as its first director Prof. Carlos Salas Rodríguez and six other officials, operating in an environment of the Banco Central Hipotecario del Perú. During that eight-year period, between creation and operation, "the Moquegua Regional Archive was only a piece of paper; the abandonment, deterioration and loss of important documents continued". Regarding the transfer of documentary funds to the Archive, it has been found that Víctor Cutipé Vargas Angulo, "jealous guardian of the invaluable notary fund of Moquegua", had until before the creation of the Moquegua regional archive, a protocol dating from the year 1587, belonging to Diego Dávila.  The relationship with CORDEMOQUEGUA lasted until 1985, after which time it was totally dependent on the AGN. At the time, the Fundación Histórica Tavera describes it this way: "The situation of this archive is somewhat precarious. It does not have any major publications except for a newsletter. Its information instrument is made up of basic inventories".  After the creation of regional governments in Peru, it depends administratively on the Regional Government of Moquegua, exactly on the Regional Management for Social Development.

Church Archives
The Catholic Church has gathered the early church records from the dioceses into a centralized archive. Six of Lima's seven parishes store their pre-1900 records in the Archive of the Archbishopric of Lima (Archivo Arzobispal de Lima). The address for this archive is incorrectly listed in the FamilySearch research guide for Peru, as the Archives relocated in 2006. The current address is:

Archivo Arzobispal de Lima Calle Luis Espejo 1064 Urb. Santa Catalina Lima 21, PERÚ Tel: 471-4738 Email: [mailto:lagaguti@terra.com.pe lagaguti@terra.com.pe]

The Archive of the Archbishop of Lima has documentation since 1543 on visitations (visitas), holy works (obras pias), tithing (diezmos), property, and divorce. Few guides, indexes, or inventories have been published, but in the archive there are several that can be used on site. For information about the archive, see:


 * Vargas Ugarte,Rubén, S.J. “El Archivo Arzobispal de Lima,” in Handbook of Latin American Studies, 1936. (Cambridge, Mass.: 1937), 443–48.

Only a few of the records of the Archive of the Archbishop of Lima have been indexed, and most of the indexes remain unpublished. Parish records, particularly baptisms, are the most likely to be indexed. Additionally, there are eight volumes of indexes of marriage documents (expedientes matrimoniales).

More recent Catholic parish records are kept at the local parish. The diocese keeps the records of parishes that no longer exist. You may write to local parishes and church archives for information. To obtain 20th century documents, you must visit the parish offices and pay a fee.

See Peru Church Directories, Peru Church History, and Peru Church Records for more information.

Department Archives
In Peru, a department is a governmental jurisdiction, similar to a county. Each department has its own historical archive separate from those of the national government. They serve as repositories for records pertaining to their particular area. Records of genealogical value at department archives include notarial records; birth, marriage, and death records; census records; some church records; and so forth.

Department archives are located in the department city capitals and are open to the public, with proper identification (libreto electoral or passport) and letters of recommendation. Addresses of the department archives are:

Municipal Archives
All records created by local governments in Peru, including birth, death, and marriage records, are kept in municipal offices. These offices are comparable to county courthouses and town halls in the United States. Copies of the municipal records are available to the public. For more information about these offices and their records, see Peru Civil Registration.

These archives also house the Libros de Cabildos (minute books), which contain information about local administration, founding of towns, commercial life, markets, sanitation, administration of justice, and social relations. The municipal records of the town of Huamanga are housed in the National Library.

You can get information about the records kept at a particular municipality by writing to the municipal office. See the Family History Library’s Spanish Letter-Writing Guide (36245) for instructions on how to write for genealogical information.

Other Archives and Libraries
Other types of repositories may also contain important genealogical records. Contact these libraries and ask about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Proper identification (libreto electoral or passport) and a letter of recommendation may be required. These repositories include:


 * Historical and genealogical societies.
 * Public and academic libraries.
 * Public archives, private archives, business archives, and museums.
 * University archives and libraries.

The oldest continuing university in the Americas is the Major National University of San Marcos (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos):
