The documentary funds of the local administration have a clearly defined profile, in terms of their typologies. These respond to the organic-functional structure of the producing body, in our case, a town council. At the same time, this organic-functional structure is derived from the organization with which the local administration is endowed to fulfill its purposes, which are none other than the management of local affairs to improve the quality of life of its citizens.

Therefore, we find, in a municipal fund table, a division, which is structured into Sections and Series, some of which are very stable throughout history, while others are short-lived. In the first case we can find typologies such as municipal acts, which include the deliberations of the main governing bodies: Town Council, Old Regime council, constitutional, Restoration, dictatorship, democratic councils, Permanent Municipal Commissions , of Government or Boards of Government, or the Plenum of the Corporations. Different names but identical series, very continuous over time, because they have been and are the instruments with which the municipal institutions have governed politically, juridically and legally. Or those related to the economic governance of the same institution: those items destined to income and expenses, and which manage the same administrative practice: enter through taxes or other instruments and pay. Own and Arbitrage, Income and Expenses, Budgets, etc. Likewise, different names for the same practice.
Other documentary series have lasted over time, but the change in political, economic and administrative realities have brought them to an end: documentation from the foral period relating to the Rationals, Court Clerks, Clavaris, Mostassafia, Justices, Corregiments, etc. There are series that have barely lasted a few years, because the incumbent has created offices or departments that the successor has eliminated. These typologies are known in archival science as closed series.

As can be seen, the movement of documents and, by extension, municipal information, is very dynamic over time, unlike archives of a national or regional nature, usually exclusively historical, in which there is no changes in the series, because the only thing they do is preserve the documentation of institutions that have disappeared. In the municipal archives, when the councils continue to exist, there are always transfers and income.

Another important function performed by the municipal archive is to serve not only as an archive of the municipal institution, but also as an archive of the city of Xàtiva. This means that he must also worry about the evolution of other institutions that give political, social, economic, cultural, festive, musical, religious or other life to the city of Xàtiva. May God collect the beat, the vital throbbing of the Xati people who gather there to do politics - in political parties -; associations that care about the economy - business associations, companies, unions -; promotion of culture - cultural associations -; festive occupation - parties, street parties, etc. -; promotion of music - musical societies, musical groups, etc. -; religious demonstrations - churches, brotherhoods, etc. - and ensure that the testimony of their activities - of those associations that do not have premises in good condition - is preserved and guarded in the municipal archives, so that the citizens , scholars and researchers, can consult the documents they have produced during their lifetime.

We already do this from the Xàtiva town hall, which has accepted, as a donation (in property or in deposit) or purchase, several funds, which in archival terms are called Incorporated Funds:

• – The Sarthou Fund (Carlos and Lidia Sarthou)
• – The Fund of the River of Saints.
• – The Background of the Plaça de Toros de Xàtiva.
• – The Fund of the Trade Union Brotherhood of Farmers and Cattlemen of Xàtiva.
• – The Mercantile Circle Fund.
• – The Fund of the Valencian Shorthand Union.
• – The Fund of the company COACXA (Cooperativa Agrícola Comarcal Xàtiva).
• – The Fund of the Notary District of Xàtiva.
• – The Fund of the Circle of Catholic Workers of Xàtiva.
• – The Joaquín Lemos Fund.
• – The Fund of the Brotherhood of Xàtiva.

• – The Fund of the Community of Municipalities La Costera-Canal.

All of them duly cataloged and/or inventoried or in the process of being cataloged and/or inventoried. On the other hand, there are not only collective private funds; we also have documents donated by individuals, which are also included in their corresponding sections and series.
