Abstract

A methodological report on the history of archives in the Ancien Regime in Spain is offered, based on one of its historical sources: travellers’ life stories and tales. Several texts were extracted from traveller life stories and tales, based on previous knowledge of the sources, which were analysed in relation to their historical and institutional context. Such extracts capture varied opinions, descriptions, evaluations, and value judgements, and represent different customs and functions around the use of the Written Culture, archives and Archival Science in the Hispanic Ancien Regime. The utility of travellers’ life stories and tales, and in general, of historical and literary sources, for the study of the vision of archives and their representation in the Hispanic Ancien Regime, and thereafter for a History of Archives and Archival Science, is established
