The General Archive has the mission of managing, preserving,
and protecting documents and book collections in its
custody, safeguarding the cultural heritage of the country.
Likewise, the Archive seeks to support, and contribute
efficiently in the appropriate decision-making process in the
national parliament, by providing true and timely information.
The objective of the Archive is to disseminate the document
collection of public nature through the Portal of the Congress,
with a view to democratizing the archive services and make them
available to citizens, thus facilitating their archive education,
and strengthening the interplay between the citizenry and the
Legislature.
It is also aimed at recovering and publicizing the Parliamentary
Historical Archive, which goes as far back as 1822, and contains
historical documentation, so that the citizens (our users) will
strengthen their national identity, and their interest in
the history of parliament.
The Archive supports the work of senior officers of parliamentary
service by conducting research projects based on existing documents
from the General Archive.
