Can anyone please inform me the recent location and access availability of the Goa Archives? Their website indicates they’ve moved to Ribander but did they move their records as well as their library? Their phone numbers are switched off so I’m unable to get info from them directly (and they never answer emails). Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Debra,
I was in Goa last year in May and the Archives were still in the old location in Panjim. I believe they have different locations for the different types of documents available which there are many in Portuguese.
Have you tried to contact Frederick Noronha? He is quite knowledgeable and very helpful.
Telephone and emails are not a good option. From my experience, nobody replies.
All the best.
Regards,
Carolina

Dear Debra
 
The Goa Archives have shifted their base to Ribander. I have recently gone there and I was told that their library too is shifted there. They do not allow any usage of mobiles, nor photographs while inside the building. The place is in the Alcon building, above the Merc showroom on the main road going to Old Goa. 

Best wishes
