Last April, on the 28th and 29th, 2022, the First Encounter of Art Archives was organized by the School of Arts of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC), with the support of the Comisión del Programa de Archivos de Literatura y Artes del Consejo Internacional de Archivos (Programme Commission Section on Archives of Literature and Art from the International Council on Archives, ICA)
With the aim of creating a Latinamerican artistic archive network, open for the sake of sharing experiences and to pose a discussion on the practices that surround the Archive, there was an open call for institutions and researches that preserve heritages, holdings and national and international collections.
