 Record Management

Its main purpose is to organise, manage and control documents, from the moment they are received or created by Girona Provincial Council until they are definitively archived, in such a way that they can be accessed by citizens and the public authorities. The archive service advises and trains administrative unit staff in the organisation of management archives.

 General Archive

Ever since its creation, the General Archive has managed, handled and safeguarded all the records generated or received by Girona Provincial Council, making them available to the general public. It covers the chronological period from the 11^th to the 21^st century and fills over three kilometres of shelves.

 It offers assistance and technical cooperation to local councils on matters concerning archives and the management of documents and information

It offers technical assistance and cooperates with local councils in order to organise the management and administrative archives of municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, as well as providing tools and guidelines for defining, establishing and maintaining the Record Management System. One application used in record and information management is the ACTUAL software (Unified Local Administration Acts) which the Provincial Council began developing at the end of 2006.

 Historical Archive

It gathers and manages the documents which, following an assessment and selection process, have been preserved in order to certify and provide evidence of the actions carried out by Girona Provincial Council and its related and autonomous bodies. It covers the chronological period from the 11^th to the 20^th century.

In addition to the records generated by Girona Provincial Council (1822-20^th century), it holds other, older historical records which arrived when the institution took over the jurisdiction, as in the case of Santa Caterina Hospital (1009-1855) and the old Provincial Hospice (14^th century-1855). Other noteworthy records correspond to the Civil Government (1772-1935), the Delegate Commissariat of the Government of Catalonia in Girona (1931–1939) and the Provincial Electoral Census Office in Girona (1890-1977).

 Administrative Archive

It gathers and manages documents that have come from corporate offices and which, given their relevance, can be used directly by Girona Provincial Council, as well as to safeguard citizens’ rights. It covers the chronological period from 1950 to the present.
