Patrimonial archives and medieval history: the necessary dialogue

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
[eng] This article expounds on the importance of patrimonial archives for the understanding of medieval history, speciﬁcally in Catalonia. The problems surrounding this particular type of archives will be presented in order to grasp their signiﬁcance. The main issue is accessibility, which, in turn, poses several difﬁculties for researchers attempting to study these holdings. Possible solutions will also be suggested. The article focuses on a particular patrimonial archive, the Fontcuberta Archive, whose features and medieval holdings will be properly described. We will also deal with the actions currently in progress in order to provide access for the scientiﬁc community.
