On the morning of today, the event of delivery to the Cabildo de Fuerteventura of an important archival collection composed of the documentation generated by the ancient institutions of the island, such as the courthouse, various scribes and the lobby itself, was held in The Museo Canario
. This interesting documentary background, known as "Judicial Archive of Fuerteventura" or "Archive of Betancuria", has been preserved in The Canary Museum since 1932, when the scientific society took charge of its conservation to correct the process of deterioration in which i
t was located. The City Council of Antigua deposited the file in this museum with the task of stopping the deterioration and keeping the documents indefinitely, but with the express agreement to return them to their home island as soon as the municipality or the island lobby had the appropriate facilities to take care of them. The new facilities of the General Archive of Fuerteventura, inaugurated in 2014, finally enforce this premise. The Cabildo Ins
ular de Fuerteventura, an institution contemplated in the 1932 agreement as authorized to request the return of the archive, has received the documents at the public event that was held today in El Museo Canario, with the presence of Diego López Díaz, president of The Canary Museum, Marcial Morales Martín, president of the Cabildo Insular de Fuerteventura, and Miguel Angel Clav ijo , director general of Cultural Heritage of the Government of the Canary Islands.
