Documentary heritage of Latin America and the Caribbean: UNESCO's Memory of the World Regional Register 2000-2018

Created in 2000 to make Latin American and Caribbean documentary memory visible, the Regional Committee for Latin America and the Caribbean of UNESCO's Memory of the World Program (MoWLAC) offers in this book a detailed record of its almost twenty years of activity in its task of identifying, recording, preserving and facilitating access to the region's documentary wealth, a heritage shared by all humanity. 

As a memory of memory, the book refers to and contextualizes 191 archival and bibliographic collections from 42 countries, in a community that integrates different languages and cultures. But it also provides a history of MoWLAC's work, demonstrating its strength and capacity for articulation, as evidenced, for example, in the joint proposals of several institutions and countries, beyond the limits of their cultural and geographic area.
