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.
