Argentina historical Archives.

[marticus]

Hi everyone. Im trying to do some research on a German vessel being captured in Argentina during ww1.
Does anyone know the correct details for a Place like the Argentina Historical archives or the equivalent. I have had a bit of a dig online but have been unsuccessful so far.
Cheers
Marticus

Is this the specific vessel?

She was ordered in 1910 and commissioned in May 1913, the fourth battlecruiser built for the High Seas Fleet. She was named after Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz, a Prussian general during the reign of King Frederick the Great and the Seven Years' War.

Im in the process of attaining a researcher from germany to send me digital copies if there are any records. Sadly thousands of records where lost and destroyed in the nazi regime.
So im now hoping that perhaps the argentina gov confiscated some of the original docs and they may be safe today.
Then again i will have to hire a local researcher to send me any digit copies .
Lots of long shots. But thats all i have atm.
