Where the records of Uruguay are, who holds them, and what it costs to look. 4,584,168 indexed records reachable through FamilySearch alone.
Nothing here has been checked for what it costs to look. On top of that, 9 worldwide services reach Uruguay without a subscription.
1 more institution is listed here and has never been checked — nobody has opened it, written to it, or found out what it holds. They are on the map as grey because that is what they are, and the honest reading of this page is 0 known-open, 1 unknown.
Write to National Archives of Uruguay for what is not online. FamilySearch has 6 collections covering it, running 1726–2020, 4,584,168 indexed records. No jurisdiction region covers Uruguay yet, so this atlas cannot say whose archive held this ground in a given year — and it will not guess.
26 places placed, 0 volumes walked. Not one of them has had its paper counted yet, so treat the shelf here as a list of somewhere to look rather than a list of what survives. Open Uruguay on the map, or tell us what is missing.
The archives
- National Archives of Uruguay unsurveyed Uruguay
National Archives of Uruguay — national archive of Uruguay. Promoted so the country has somewhere to write to at all; its address was opened and nothing else about it has been checked, including whether it holds anything genealogical.
And 12 worldwide providers reach Uruguay too — the full list.

A directory David assembled, sorted by what kind of record each one is. Read this differently from the rest of the page. The descriptions are his, not an archive's catalogue, and nobody here has opened the volumes behind them. Every link was tried on 2026-09-20 and answered; the ones that did not are not listed.
