The Archivo Histórico Provincial de Sevilla preserves documents and collections that trace institutional, social, and cultural life across Seville province. It operates within Andalusia’s provincial historical archive network.

Its Casa Hospital de la Misericordia records run from 1404 to 1951, covering administration, finances, reforms, facilities, and leprosy patients. Books and paper bundles form this collection.

Maps and plans record urban spaces, construction projects, objects, and planned settlements including Esquivel, Sacramento, Cortijo Uceda, and Torre Rubia. Schools and chapels appear in those settlement plans.

Other documents concern the Royal Tobacco Factory and the Isabel II Bridge, also called the Triana Bridge, in Seville. Heraldic records preserve coats of arms, patents of nobility, and family trees.

Drawings and sketches depict gravestones, retablos, urns, and mills, including a design for Hernando Colón’s gravestone. A specialised library supports the collections.

The archive also holds records from institutions, families, and organisations, alongside services for reproduction, loans, bibliographic access, exhibitions, studies, and courses. Researchers and students can explore Seville’s documentary heritage here.
