{{main|Vatican Apostolic Archive}}
The [[Vatican Apostolic Archive]], located in [[Vatican City]], is the central archive for all of the acts [[promulgated]] by the [[Holy See]], as well as the [[state paper]]s, correspondence, [[pope|papal]] account books,<ref>{{cite book|last1=von Pastor|first1=Ludwig Freiherr|title=The History of the Popes: From the Close of the Middle Ages.

In the 17th century, under the orders of [[Pope Paul V]], the Archives were separated from the Vatican Library, where scholars had some very limited access to them, and remained absolutely closed to outsiders until 1881, when [[Pope Leo XIII]] opened them to researchers, more than a thousand of whom now examine its documents each year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://asv.vatican.va/en/fond/ammiss.htm |title=Table of Admittances to the Vatican Secret Archives in the Last Years |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110506021633/http://asv.vatican.va/en/fond/ammiss.htm |archive-date=6 May 2011}}</ref>
