ENGLISH VERSION

Following is a list of information institutions in Chiapas. Some of them already have well-functioning sites in the Internet, some have out-dated and/or uninformative sites, and others have no sites as of yet. The only institution that has thus far given permission and extended blessing for the creation of a site is the General State Archive of Chiapas.

ARCHIVES

El Archivo General del Estado de Chiapas Web Site
The General State Archives of Chiapas is located in the Jaime Sabines Cultural Center in Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of Chiapas. It is a recently created institution. Many of their documents are recently rescued as well.

El Archivo Histórico del Estado de Chiapas Web Site
The Historical Archives of Chiapas is also located in Tuxtla Gutierrez, but housed in the library of the Chiapas University of Science and Art (UNICACH). It is also a recently created institution. Most of the manuscripts and books were formerly part of a library collection.

El Archivo Diocesano de San Cristóbal de Las Casas http://lanic.utexas.edu/project/tavera/mexico/cristobal.html
The Archives of the Diocese of San Cristobal de Las Casas houses the oldest documents existing in the State of Chiapas (many documents about Chiapas are in Spain, which colonized Chiapas in the early 1500s).  It is a recently redeveloped institution, having sat unattended for 50 years or so in the 1900s.  Application of archival care is a new innovation for the mostly very-old documents.

There are many municipal archives in Chiapas as well.

LIBRARIES

La Red Estatal de Bibliotecas Públicas de Chiapas http://www.conaculta.gob.mx/bi.htm
The state-wide Public Library System of Chiapas is recently created (though some of its libraries existed previously). Its headquarters is in the Jaime Sabines Cultural Center in Tuxtla Gutierrez, across the hall from the General Archives. While the few large urban public libraries in Chiapas seem modern, there are also many rural public libraries which are located in areas where few people (including the librarians) have more than a sixth grade education. The Public Library System of Chiapas is part of the national Public Library System of Mexico.

Bibliotecas académicas de UNACH, UNICACH, Tec de Monterrey, etc. http://cib.mty.itesm.mx/
Some notable academic libraries are those of UNACH, the central library of which may have been the first modern library in Chiapas, founded in the 1980s; UNICACH, which houses the Historical Archives of Chiapas; and Tec de Monterrey, which offers digital access to data bases (not a common feature in Chiapas)

Biblioteca Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas http://www.ecosur.mx/nabolom/library.html
The Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Library specializes in anthropology and archaeology and is housed at the Na Bolom Museum in San Cristobal de Las Casas. It was originally the private library of the Danish archaeologist, Frans Blom. It is currently undergoing an overhaul of its catalog.
