Women and cultural heritage: the challenge of preserving what is invisible

ABSTRACT

In this article, we intend to reflect on the strategies developed by feminism in relation to the problematization, evaluation, visibility and institutionalization of women’s cultural heritage. We tried to give concrete examples of some strategies developed by academic feminism that were followed by a group of Argentine archivists to identify documents related to and about women in the General and Historical Archives of the National University of Córdoba and the Library of the Faculty of Philosophy and Human Sciences, both in the elaboration of descriptive instruments and in the organization of personal files.

KEYWORDS:
Feminism; women’s cultural heritage; files from/about women
