For this reason – continued Torrego- “it is essential to invest in the preservation and dissemination of this important, through the system of cataloging, digitization and dissemination of the documentary heritage of the municipalities of our province”.
In this sense, the Socialist project examines the first step in the documents of each municipal archive, “starting with the municipalities with the highest risk of depopulation, due to the lack of resources and the risk of losing the memory that this entails”; said the social deputy.
