Fourth ArchivoyMemoria Conference
The Fourth Conference, entitled "La memoria de los
conflictos: legados documentales para la Historia" ("The memory
of conflicts: documental legacies for history"), took place
on 19 and 20 February 2009. It focused on the analysis of the
existing relationship between documental heritage and situations
of political and social conflicts, both past and present and in
any location. In order to tackle this issue, three core topics
were established:
1.- Documental heritage and repression.
2.- The destruction of documents: prevention, conservation and
recovery.
3.- Conflicts, identities and archives.
Besides the usual speeches and debates, the Conference was
open to the presentation of papers and posters, which had to
relate to research activities and projects in progress that dealt
with any of the three core topics mentioned above.
