With the agreement signed between the Department of Culture of the Catalan Goverment (Generalitat de Catalunya) and the City Council of Cervera, on 20 January 1982 the Regional Historical Archive of Cervera was created, integrated into the Network of Historical Archives. In February 1988 the current headquarters were inaugurated in the building of the University of Cervera, and in 1995 it was renamed the Regional Archive of La Segarra. The Regional Council exercises management powers.

Among its collections are those of the City Council of Cervera and that of the Notarial District. Of the former, mention should be made of the set of parchments from 1072; the Book of Privileges of Cervera (BCIN); the Act of the General Court of 1359 (BCIN); the Green Book of Reason (1448-1637); the series of “Councils” (begun in 1332), with Clavaria, Manifest, Cadastre, L’obra dels murs, Veïnatge... Of the notarial collection (1325-1917), it is important to highlight the large number of protocols preserved, with three books of ordinations and deliberations of the old College of Notaries of Cervera (1366-1684). Among the collection of manuscripts, it is worth mentioning the books of the Mystery of the Passion (16th century).

The origin of the Provincial Historical Archive of Tarragona (AHT) dates back to the Second Republic, with the appearance of the Decree for the creation of the provincial historical archives, on November 12, 1931. The Republican Government's project stated that the planned centers should only house notarial historical documentation. However, the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1936, stopped the initiative. On January 21, 1939, the new regime legislated again in this direction and created the Decree for the creation of the historical archives of protocols. In 1944, the Provincial Historical Archive of Tarragona was definitively established, to record the protocols of various notarial districts in Tarragona, to which was added documentation from the Municipal Historical Archive of Tarragona up to 1799.

In 1981, due to the transfer of powers from the State to the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya), the Department of Culture assumed the management of this archive, along with that of the provincial historical archives of Girona and Lleida. Furthermore, as established by Law 10/2001, of 13 July, on archives and document management, the AHT is part of the Network of Regional Archives of the Generalitat de Catalunya and acts as the Regional Archive of Tarragonès.

The archive currently holds 183 documentary collections, including collections. They come, in large part, from the peripheral administration of the State. The Civil Government funds stand out - with the important series of associations of all the municipalities of Tarragona (1849-1982); the Provincial Delegation of Finance, of considerable volume; the Territorial Management of the Cadastre, with an interesting collection of 4,769 paperback parcel plans, or cadastres of 130 municipalities from the years 1927-1960.

The capacity of the AHT is 5,400 linear m of shelving distributed over seven floors of documentary storage, to which must be added 1,900 linear m of auxiliary storage.

The Historical Archive of Lleida (AHL) was created by ministerial order on 26 February 1952. Its first headquarters was the historic building of the Roser, a former 17th-century Dominican convent. In 2005, its current headquarters were inaugurated, located on the Illa de la Maternitat, together with the Public Library and the Diocesan and Regional Museum of Lleida.

In 1981, due to the transfer of powers from the State to the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya), the Department of Culture assumed the management of this archive, along with that of the provincial historical archives of Girona and Tarragona. Furthermore, as established by Law 10/2001, of 13 July, on archives and document management, the AHL is part of the Network of Regional Archives of the Generalitat de Catalunya and acts as the Regional Archive of Segrià.

It currently houses documents from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its initial documentary core was the notarial collection of the Lleida district, as well as the historical documentation of the Provincial Delegation of Finance, among others.

We particularly highlight the documentary collection of the Lleida Intendency, which contains documents relating to the cadastre established by José Patiño after the occupation of Catalonia in the 18th century; the documentary collection of the Civil Government, especially the series of public order documents generated in the immediate post-war period; the documentary collections of Francoist organizations; the documentary series that includes the files of the Provincial Court of Political Responsibilities; the patrimonial collection of the Jover de Tàrrega family (1525-1848), and the collection of manuscripts and loose documents (1348-1848), among others.

The first news of the Historical Archive of Girona (AHG) dates back to 1931, when the State Government issued the Decree for the creation of provincial historical archives in each provincial capital with the aim of registering the notarial protocols of more than a hundred years of the districts within its territorial scope. In the case of Girona —except for the timid attempt to create the archive in 1937, in the midst of the war, by the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya), with the adaptation of the Casa Falló in the city as a document concentration deposit—, the AHG did not become a reality until 1952: with the publication of a specific order from the Ministry of Education, the Provincial Historical Archive of Girona was created. The headquarters of the archive, at that time, was the building of the old Capuchin convent, a place that had also housed the Institut d’Ensenyament Mitjà, on Carrer de la Força. In 1963 it moved to the Casa de Cultura, and began to share spaces and services with the Provincial Public Library. It remained there until 1984, when its current headquarters, located in Plaça de Sant Josep, was opened, and it began to occupy what had originally been the convent of the Discalced Carmelites of the city of Girona, built from 1591 onwards.

A few years earlier, specifically in 1981, the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya had assumed management of the centre. On 15 March 1982, an agreement was signed to transfer the management of state-owned archives to the regional administration, which affected the three provincial archives of the country: Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. Since then, the AHG has been a state-owned archive centre, managed by the Generalitat de Catalunya and fulfilling, among many others, the functions of the Gironès Regional Archive.

Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, in 2009 the construction project for the building that was to house the new headquarters of the AHG was drawn up, located in the Fontajau neighbourhood of the city. This change was to allow a significant increase in the capacity for document storage —now fully occupied—, adaptation to the new demands and technical conditions of current archival work and, ultimately, an improvement in the quality of the service. Currently, the execution of the project is halted.

The collections that the AHG safeguards come from various sources. Particularly important are the documentation of the notarial collections of four districts —Figueres, Girona, La Bisbal d’Empordà and Santa Coloma de Farners— from 1261 to 1919, consisting of 32,000 volumes, and the collection of the Territorial Management of Girona of the Cadastre. Also noteworthy are the collections of the peripheral State Administration, among which the collection of the Civil Government of Girona (1772-2003) stands out, with the important series of “Frontier and Research Files”, and the collections of the various ministerial delegations in the province of Girona. Other remarkable collections are the collection of the Mortgage Accountants (1768-1870), the collection of the Institut Jaume Vicens Vives de Girona (1845-1990) and the remarkable collection of fragments of Hebrew manuscripts extracted from the covers of notarial volumes.
