The Register of Marriage from January 1946 to August 1957 in Pontevedra is a government-issued record documenting marital unions in the town. It serves not only as legal proof of marriage but also as a valuable historical and genealogical reference for families and researchers. The register has survived floods and other disasters thanks to the efforts of the local government, who manually dried and restored the pages. However, the physical condition of the register has deteriorated over time, showing signs of yellowing, tears, folds, and brittleness. Current conservation efforts include secure storage, plans to relocate the records to a safer area, and a digital tracking system to help preserve and access the information.
