Archivadas: Colección Nuestras Arquitectas, Sociedad Central de Arquitectos, Argentina

The preliminary results of the cataloguing work of the Nuestras Arquitectas collection of the Archive of the Central Society of Architects of Argentina are presented. It consists of 78 folders of correspondence between members and the organization, including almost 800 items dated between 1922 and 1974: members' registration forms with data and photographs, resumes, newspaper clippings, correspondence on different topics (payment of dues, participation in events and congresses of the specialty, invitations to meetings or technical commissions with governmental institutions). The main objective of the project is to enhance the value of the collection and make it accessible in order to make the first Argentine women architects visible. The treatment of collections with archival criteria, whose descriptions are accessible through the web, will make the contents available to the general public and to researchers, thus broadening knowledge about the history of the profession.
