About the Brazilian National Archives

The National Archives of Brazil, called Arquivo Nacional in Portuguese, are based in Rio de Janeiro. Their origin lies in 1838, when they were set up under the name Imperial Public Archives; they were renamed in 1911. The institution manages, preserves and shares federal government documents, and a 2018 decree made it the main body of the federal system for managing archival documents.

On January 2, 1838, regulation No. 2 created the empire's Public Archives, divided into Administrative, Legislative and Historical sections. Its first home was a building belonging to the Ministry of the Empire, and in 1844 it moved to Praça do Comércio. It later moved into the Convent of Santo Antônio, on its upper floor. Joaquim Pires Machado Portella took over as director in 1873, and the archive opened for public consultation the following year.

Documents can be consulted in person in Rio de Janeiro or Brasília, where the institution has two units, or reached online. Records of diplomatic exchanges between Brazil and the US from before 1959 are also kept there, and reaching some of them may require contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
