    DIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE BIBLIOTECAS, ARCHIVOS Y MUSEOS SUBDIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE BIBLIOTECAS, ARCHIVOS Y MUSEOS DEPARTAMENTO DE PATRIMONIO BIBLIOGRÁFICO Y DOCUMENTAL ARCHIVO DE VILLA THE ARCHIVO DE VILLA (TOWN ARCHIVE) OF MADRID The Archivo de Villa of Madrid contains, throughout its more than 18,500 running metres of shelves, documents created and received at the Madrid City Council since 1152. This archive was first mentioned in a Royal Provision of Charles V –Charles I of the Spanish empire– (1525), although the so-called 'ark of the three keys', a medieval deposit for the parchments of Madrid, is repeatedly mentioned in the books of resolutions since the 15th century. The Archive was finally set up in the 18th century. In 1748, the first professional archivist was appointed. The first regulations and operation instructions for the archive were approved in 1753 and it became a "Public Office" with the right to issue official certificates by virtue of a Royal Decree in 1781. This Institution was opened for research in 1844. It has changed its headquarters several times: Tower of the San Salvador church and Monastery of Santo Domingo (15th to 17th century), First Town Hall of Madrid (17th century-1868), Second Town Hall “Casa Panadería” in Plaza Mayor (1868-1987), Conde Duque barracks (1987-), but the custody of the materials it contains was never interrupted, not even during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), or during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). COLLECTIONS Except for two small acquisitions of private archives, the collections come from the Madrid City Council itself and from the City Councils that were annexed to Madrid during the fifties, in the past century.
