UCB Tarija together with the CODICIS project organize the symposium “Path to the recovery and preservation of the historical documentary heritage of our people”

With the aim of instilling the value of archives and heritage libraries in our Tarija society, the library of the Bolivian Catholic University “San Pablo” Tarija Headquarters, with financing from the European Union, organizes the Symposium “Path to the recovery and preservation of the historical documentary heritage of our people” to be held on August 18 and 19.

The symposium is aimed at teachers, administrators, archives staff, library staff and final year students of the educational units of the city of Tarija.

The purpose of the meeting is to promote in the participants the management of the documents that narrate the history of Tarija, so that the essence of the historical value of our town is not lost. In addition, the objective is to train those people related to the conservation and management of archives and heritage libraries, through the “Training of trainers” course.

The UCB is part of the CODICIS project for the recovery and conservation of the documentary heritage of Latin America, which is made up of a consortium of 5 universities from Peru and Mexico and two universities from Spain and Italy.

This project is funded by ERASMUS of the European Union and aims to train professors from universities in those countries for teaching in the recovery, conservation and authorization for research of important heritage collections.
