The Archivo General de Indias, or Indies Archive, is one of the world’s most important documentary funds. Created in 1785 with the goal of keeping at a single site all the documents related to the Indies, it was the Spanish government’s main archive covering the New World. Its director, Esther Cruces, will talk about its history, its role in the construction of memory, and the challenges of rereading the bundles, maps, plans and documents held there. Presented by Santiago Rojas, Northern Regional Manager and Representative of CAF Peru.
