The Vatican Secret Archives have been estimated to contain 52 miles (84 km) of shelving,[4]
The entrance to the Archives, adjacent to the Vatican Library, is approached through the Porta di S. Anna in via di Porta Angelica (rione of Borgo). New underground storage space was added in 1980.[8]
There is no generic browsing, and researchers must ask for the precise document they wish to see, identifying it either by consulting the indices and must be granted an expressed written permission authorized by a ranking prelate for perusement. Even then, not many requests are granted entrance as the application process is long and rigorous.

Be prepared, some on here are only here to give you a hard time, just accept it and act like they are smoke rings in the darks.

I have heard a story that several copies of the Ark were made, and that one of them is in that church in Ethiopia.
