The Public Archive of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese: ''Arquivo Público do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (APERJ)''), is an agency of the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that is responsible for archiving for the state administration. APERJ is an integral part of the structure of the civil government under the Secretary of State. It is responsible for the collection and preservation of documents produced by the state government and its executives and an archive of materials ranging from the 18th century to the present day. The archive contains 4,000 linear meters of documents, including maps, blueprints, photographs, microfilms, audiotapes, videotapes, and movies. The APERJ also offers a library of secondary sources, specializing in legislation, history, and archival science. It is a part of the Conselho Nacional de Arquivos (CONARQ), as decreed by Law 8.159, passed on January 8, 1991. The archive is open Monday through Friday, from 9am to 5pm. It is located in the Botafogo neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro (city) in Brazil. Access to documentation is free and open to any researcher, foreign or national. Researchers are assisted by staff members in the identification of relevant documents and protocol for their proper review. Users have access to print and electronic research tools and are required to register their personal information upon arrival. As a registered user at the APERJ, researchers are required to sign in and out during each session. Only pencils, erasers, and loose sheets of paper, and personal computers are allowed in the consultation room (sala de consultas) for notation. == History == The APERJ was created by government Decree n. 2638 on August 25, 1931. Originally named the General Archive of the State (Arquivo Geral do Estado), it was under the jurisdiction of the Director of the Interior and of Justice and located in Niteroí, RJ. Among its responsibilities, it was to receive, classify, preserve, and organize the papers and books pertinent to the Secretary of the State of Rio de Janeiro. It was also tasked with cataloging collections of laws, decrees, and legislative deliberations annually to be published. Two years later, the archive's name changed to the Arquivo Publico e Biblioteca Universitaria (Public Archive and University Library). In 1938, the archive was separated from the Library but remained under the purview of the Justice Secretary until 1958 when it went under the Secretary of Administration. In 1961, the documentation for the President of the Province and the President of the State of Rio de Janeiro was contained in the basement of the Aurelino Leal school, part of the palace for the President of the Province in Niteroi. The collections were transferred to the Public Archive and, later, to the Sala Matoso Maia de Documentação Fluminense at the Rio de Janeiro State Library. With the fusion of the states of Guanabara and Rio de Janeiro in 1975, the Public Archive went back under the control of the Secretary.of Justice. In 1979, the President of the Province and President of the State of Rio de Janeiro collections were returned to the institution. By 1985, the functions and patrimony of the General Department of Documentation (also part of the Secretary of Justice) were incorporated into the APERJ. A library specializing in legislation and law was also included in the APERJ. The directorship, as well as the research and accessible legislation sectors, remained in Rio de Janeiro with the sectors responsible for technical processing and archive usage remaining in Niteroi. The Public Archive installed itself in the building once belonging to the Auditors Court in Niteroi in 1989 and, once there, united all of its activities with the institution and remained at the address for seven years. Since then, the APERJ continued to intensified the collection of documents produced by the public administration of the state. Since then, the APERJ increased its collection of documents produced by the Public Administration of the State, which featured the archives of the Political Police of Rio de Janeiro, the Candido Mendes Penal Institute in Ilha Grande, and the State Program for the Protection and Orientation of the Consumer in the State of Rio de Janeiro (PROCON/RJ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Public Archive for the State of Rio de Janeiro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
