The Vatican Secret Archives (Archivio Segreto Vaticano) contain the central repository of all the acts that have been promulgated by the Roman Catholic Church's Papal See, as well as diplomatic materials and correspondence of the Papal See and other documents that have accumulated over the centuries. They include some of the seminal historical documents for understanding the real history of the Western world. The Secret Archives were removed from the Vatican Library in the 17th century under the orders of Pope Paul V and remained absolutely closed to Vatican outsiders until the late 19th century, fuelling rumors of what might be secreted away there. The Secret Archives are still separately housed. The first papal historian to make fundamental use of the Secret Archives was the sympathetic historian of the Papacy, Ludwig von Pastor. Documents in the Secret Vatican Archives are open to accredited scholars up to those produced at the end of Pope Benedict XV's pontificate, in 1922. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vatican Secret Archives"
