The institution was established in 1941 following national legislation providing for the creation of state archives in each Italian province. Since 1947 it has been housed in part of the former Dominican convent attached to the Basilica of San Domenico. The archives preserve extensive documentary holdings, including municipal and ecclesiastical records, judicial archives, notarial records, cadastral documentation, and private and family papers, as well as a specialized research library.
The institute also oversees branch Sections in Assisi, Foligno, Gubbio, and Spoleto.
