The exhibition University Historical Archive. Chronicle of a custody, installed in the Fonseca College chapel, undertakes a chronological tour from the main historical milestones that affected, in one way or another, its genesis and evolution, and also aims to show the process of shaping its documentary corpus over time.
To illustrate these facts, it shows the most representative documentation, with historical value or that which provides curious or unknown information, as well as exhibiting a selection of its documentary gems which, for the first time, will be taken out of the archive's deposits so that they can be seen by the public.
Finally, the human dimension of this custody will also be present, that is, the documentation relating to those people linked to or responsible for the archive during different periods, also reflecting the evolution of the figure of the archivist until its recognition as a profession with the creation of the speciality in the mid-19th century.
The exhibition is curated by the director of the University Historical Archive, Desirée Domínguez Pallas, with the collaboration of the Provincial Council A Coruña.

- Opening times: From Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.
