The Manuel Municipal Archive was, firstly, located on the second floor of the Town Hall, expanding its space by a few meters after the remodeling of the building. In 2011 it moved to the ground floor, to the premises previously occupied by the Municipal Library, to establish itself definitively until today.
The municipal documentation has not suffered any major damage.
Since 2005, Manuel City Council has been a member of the Joint Archive Service offered by the Ribera Alta Community, for the arrangement, classification and cataloging of its documentation.
Since 2018 it has been integrated into the Online Archive System (SAVEX) of the Generalitat Valenciana and visible in the OPAC.
The chronology of this documentation starts in 1781 until 2018.
