Being the city in the pre-unification era the seat of offices and courts with jurisdiction over the entire province of Terra di Bari, numerous documents flowed into the Archive.
However, the documents of the sacred royal audience, which was based there since 1586, the criminal court of the Napoleonic period, the grand criminal court, and the grand civil court of the restoration period, preserved in AS Bari, are not kept there due to space reasons.
The Section still preserves and continues to receive the notarial acts of the district, judicial acts of the district magistracies, and those of other local offices.
