The Young Archive

Abstract

Architectural archives differ from all others, from their origins to their conservation. It is possible to analyze the behavior and possibilities for collaboration between different archives that hold collections from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with the use of contemporary digital tools. The generation of knowledge is usually related to the possibility of visiting the collections, but with the use of contemporary digital technology, mobility no longer restricts research. This shift in the way of generating and disseminating knowledge will inevitably modify the conformation of future archives, since the objects in the collection will no longer be selected for their value, but will remain immersed in the vastness of the internet, waiting to be found.
