Reservation platform
Welcome everyone to the online reservation platform for the Gancia e Catena Research rooms of the State Archives of Palermo. Please bear in mind that to reserve a spot in a Research room you must have a State Archives admission card valid through the end of the current calendar year (see Research rooms).
It is possible to reserve as many accesses to a Research room as you wish over the course of the two months following the day of booking. The reservation must be made within two days (*) of the date on which you intend to access the room. How to file the reservation form:
- select the Research room you intend to access;
- write down in the “Note” field which archival units you intend to consult, providing the complete archival signature, up to a maximum of four archival units per day for each Research room;
- to consult the ACS database on Declassified records, please select “Documentazione declassificata” in the “Note” field.
(*) Records containing sensitive data
Records of the last 70 years produced by the peripheral offices of the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice must be subject to careful examination to exclude the presence of sensitive data, in accordance with current legislation. For this reason they must be booked at least ten days prior to the date of access to the room.
Instructions for the correct listing of signature
To correctly fill the “Note” field with the archival signatures, it is possible to consult the page “Access tools – Strumenti di ricerca” and the instructions on listing the signatures for the Gancia site (Italian version only).
Reservation confirmation
Only users who have received the booking confirmation email from the online platform will be admitted to the room. In the receipt you will find a link to cancel the seat reservation within two days before access.
