Documentary record connected to the editorial archive.
The National Archaeological Museum offers a thematic tour of conservation and restoration history through its collections, developed with Madrid’s Higher School of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage.
The 2006 opening of Modena’s Museo della Figurina offers a way to examine the sticker as a printed object, a domestic collection, and a cultural document. This guide proposes a careful approach to viewing, cataloguing, and preserving it, while separating established evidence from questions requiring further research.
Open storyThe Historical Archive of the Puerto Cristal Museum in Chile holds records from the 1960s to the 1990s concerning a mining camp and the lives of its residents. It offers a way to explain why an archive is not a collection of isolated memories: it preserves provenance, activities, and links among the school, radio, port warehouses, laboratory, and mine, although the available evidence does not describe every record or its physical condition.
Open storyA reading of the computer as a museum-documentation tool: useful for structuring records, images, movements and conservation reports, yet dependent on the context attached to every object.
Open storyA comparison of two milestones cited for 1992 and 1994 and today’s debates on digitisation, access, and loss of context. The available evidence traces a move from cultural content distributed through FTP to a museum’s presence on the Internet, while requiring a distinction between putting materials online and preserving their documentary meaning.
Open storyThe Museo Cerralbo project offers a way to examine restoration as the recovery of a historic interior rather than work on isolated objects alone. Documentation, coordination among trades, and the sequence of work from 2002 to 2009 show why conservation also means deciding which material and museographic evidence should remain legible.
Open storyModena’s Museo della Figurina offers a starting point for considering the sticker not only as an item for swapping, but as a printed object requiring provenance, description and context. This reading connects its collection with public principles of inventory, conservation and access.
Open storyThe Historical Archive of the Puerto Cristal Museum brings together documents on a Chilean mining camp from the 1960s to the 1990s. Its scope—school, radio, warehouses, laboratory, mine and processing plant—makes it possible to read work and domestic life as parts of the same historical context.
Open storyBetween 1944 and 2009, several documented interventions affected room decoration and other spaces at Madrid’s National Museum of Romanticism. This feature examines what can be stated about those phases and why historic decoration must be read through the building, display, and documentation together.
Open storyThe Museo Cerralbo recovery project shows that restoring a house museum is not merely a matter of repairing objects: it also means interpreting spaces, uses and historical ways of displaying a collection. This analysis separates documented facts from the questions that remain open.
Open storyDomestic cookbooks do more than pass on preparations: they can document habits, aesthetics and cultural memory. A museum-oriented reading must distinguish what an object proves from what it merely suggests.
Open storyFood, cooking and drink form part of food heritage. The available sources show why exhibiting them also means considering practices, contexts and ways of passing knowledge on.
