Third ArchivoyMemoria Conference

The Third Conference, which took place on 13 and 14 February 2008, dealt with the subject of “Las imágenes de la memoria: metodología, interpretación y gestión de fuentes audiovisuales” (“Images of memory: methodology, interpretation and management of audiovisual sources”). On this occasion, besides the customary speeches and debates, the conference offered the opportunity to present papers. The speeches and paper presentation sessions focused on the following topics: authorship, rights and ethical and social issues concerning the uses of images; the conservation and management of images; and the latest social research possibilities regarding audiovisual sources.

These bases gave rise to a wide variety of aspects to deal with, which eventually were structured into four thematic sessions. The first session was devoted to “Metodología, gestión y uso de imágenes” (“Methodology, management and use of images”), the second focused on “Las fuentes audiovisuales en archivos, museos y bibliotecas” (“Audiovisual sources in archives, museums and libraries”), the third dealt with “Conservación y restauración de imágenes” (“Conservation and restoration of images”), and the fourth and final session was entitled “Memoria, Identidad y Fuentes Audiovisuales” (“Memory, Identity and Audiovisual Sources”).
