More than thirty years ago, in most countries of the world, the parish books in which the births, marriages and deaths of our ancestors were registered were digitized and posted on the Internet, and they are so useful for learning more about our origins. , and more specifically essential to go back in our family trees.
In Spain, there are many dioceses that have joined this procedure and made this information available to everyone, which belongs to all of us. However, in Salamanca, the Bishopric did not allow the books belonging to said city and the towns that are included in its Diocese to be digitized, and therefore there is no access available to them from the network. They only allow them to be consulted in person, with a fairly small number of people per day, and they also charge exorbitant fees to take photographs of the items contained in those books (photographs that are free in the archives of other dioceses).
For this reason, I am leading this petition to finally get books digitized and put on the Internet for everyone to access.
