    Can anyone tell me where the Spanish Inquisition records are now kept? Have they been digitized and put online and if so where can I access them. If not, are they all in Madrid and where? Or are they scattered about Spain?

    I'm doing my dissertation on it and need to actually find the archives but everywhere I look says something different. I am particularly interested in the inquisition in Seville and Valladolid if that helps.

    Thanks!

    Are you looking for the archives for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - in the Vatican

    or the 'actual' Spanish Inquisition- "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition"

    As Jawgap said; as well from what I remember of the era the El Escorial was a responsibility of numerous documents. The place was built somewhat after the main events of that period, but if it has an online library there might be relevant material there?

    Thanks for your help. It's the actual records that I am looking for. I know different regions had their own inquisitorial institutions as per locality during the inquisition, but I was wondering where the records are now kept. Have they all been collected and put in one place? That is, the records of the actual individuals who came before the inquisition.
