The Municipal historical archives, formally established in 1997, holds a large parchment and paper documentary heritage that bears witness to the political, economical and administrative community of S. Elpidio a Mare and its territory since the IX century: the diplomatic collection with Imperial and papal documents, notarial deeds of the IX-XIX centuries (the so-called Secret Archive), the administrative documentation produced over time by the Institution (correspondence, accountancy records, acts of the decision-making bodies) and currently available for consultation until 1910.
