              <p xml:lang="eng"><![CDATA[The Archive System of the Ministry of the Interior (El Sistema de Archivos del Ministerio del Interior) is made up of the General Archive (Archivo General) and the set of Management Archives (Archivos de Gestión) that conserve, control and process the documentation produced or conserved by the Department at each stage of the life cycle of the documents, in accordance with the rules applicable to them.

The Archives System of the Ministry of the Interior  provides the framework for the rules, means and procedures through which the Archives of the Ministry of the Interior and the Documentary Heritage are operated and protected. It is made up of management, coordination and technical advisory bodies, a series of archives, and regulations that give cohesion to the system and regulate its procedures.

The archives dependent on the Ministry of the Interior form part of the Spanish Archives System provided for by Law 16/1985, of 25 June, on Spanish Historical Heritage. Article 65 provides that "each Ministerial Department shall ensure the coordination of the operation of all the archives of the Ministry and of the bodies linked to it...". In accordance with this article, the Ministry of the Interior has issued different Orders that establish the basic rules on the organisation and operation of its Archive System.

The Orders of 21 December 2000, creating the Qualifying Commission for Administrative Documents of the Ministry of the Interior and regulating access to its dependent archives, and that of 7 March 2001, creating, under the General Archive of the Ministry of the Interior, the Sections of the General Directorates of the Police and the Civil Guard, were the starting point for the articulation of the Department's Archive System for the proper management of its administrative documentation.

Order INT/2528/2002, of 2 October 2002, which regulates the Ministry of the Interior's Archive System, establishes the basic rules on the organisation and operation of the Department's Archive System, bearing in mind that the correct operation of this Archive System requires the implementation of a standardised and uniform archive treatment in all units of the Department, regardless of the volume and nature of their respective documentary collections.

The direction and coordination of the Archive System of the Ministry of the Interior are the responsibility of the General Technical Secretariat, Subdirectorate General of Associations, Archives and Documentation.]]></p>
