Advice on the preservation and dissemination of architectural archives.
The file General of the University of Navarra offers three services to the members of the America Forum, which are related to the functions of all file: conservation, treatment and dissemination of documents.
TRAINING
Possibility of giving an online course, lasting 8 hours, addressing the basic issues faced by an architectural file : donation and its legal issues, collection and transfer, installation of the different typologies and their conservation materials, description and its different tools, minimal restoration, digitization, dissemination (database, exhibitions, social networks, etc.), legal issues to be taken into account in terms of dissemination and, finally, the conditions of the premises in which the file is installed (humidity and temperature, fire protection, etc.).
ADVICE
Personalized post-course guidance for those who may require it, according to their status and their problems, inclusion in the AGUN website, in its Architecture archives section, of a section for these Forum America collections, within the architects' page, which link directly with their websites (or whatever is decided). The description tools, digitizations and dissemination actions to be carried out can be included there.
