General State Archives Yucatàn - 97000 Mérida

Hi, I'm Janice

Beautiful place where the historical archives of the State are located.

the notarial archive department never answers emails or tel. ext 53245, procedures take more than 2 months to resolve ... unfortunate service

If you want to know the history of Yucatan, here is the right place to come and investigate about haciendas, the development of the city and entities, as well as politics through the years. Everything is already digitized and there are computer equipment for consultation.

All service is excellent. The facilities are fine although a fix to the bathrooms would not be bad. It is a beautiful space, the people in charge of this are courteous and efficient.

The attention of the lady to whom you request the files is very efficient and gives excellent attention to the users. In general, all those in charge who provide service in the consultation area in the archive show their academic preparation and a strong commitment to their profession, their treatment is very friendly and you can consult them if you have any questions, they are always friendly. I give it a rating of 2 ⭐ because the bathrooms are in poor condition, especially the men's. Likewise, you are asked through some signs to go out with the bucket to look for water in case there is no water in the bathrooms, but the water tanks are overflowing so they waste water, and those in charge of being attentive to this need totally ignore it. As soon as access to the building for the disabled is not adequate, they have improvised with a ramp made of wood. I would really like to put 5 ⭐because the professionals who serve the public for the consultation of files are super excellent, but the neglect of the building is difficult to ignore. The Yucatecan government and the administration in charge of the AGEY should be ashamed of having this place, so important for the access to historical knowledge of our state, SO ABANDONED AND IN DEPLORABLE CONDITION.
