Prácticas de organización y conservación documental del cabildo de la catedral de Oporto (de la Edad Media hasta el final del Antiguo Régimen)

Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the archive of the chapter of the Porto See, its practices of organization and documentary conservation, from the medieval period to the end of the Old Regime. To this end, two realities will be crossed: the practical and the theoretical. The first was detected in the docu-mentation of varied nature and in certain instruments of access to information produced by the chapter. The second was taken from the Synodal Constitutions of the diocese of Porto, ordered by the bishops following the holding of synods. The various changes in the location of the archive within the cathedral space will also be observed, as well as the relationship between the capitular archive and the miter archive will be considered throughout the analyzed chronology
