Cien años para no olvidar en la historia del Archivo de la Catedral de Cuenca. el siglo XIX

Abstract

We are determined to write about the historical ups and downs which affected the Cathedral Archive in Cuenca along the hard times in 19th century. Some laws of Desamortización in monasteries and convents during the thirties promted further laws in the sixties which directly affected the bibliographic and archival patrimony. Such a valious patrimony had been preserved by the Cathedral for ages and after the confisca-tion were sunk in an abandoned state. Cuenca’s Cathedral Archive recorvered from so sad situation with hopeful perspectives by designating its first archivist out of a competitive axamination in order to open all that archive treasures to researchers.
