When a Magazine Becomes an Archive: Comics Between Collection, Museum and Digital Access

Museum archives preserve documents that are not always artworks. The Archivo del Museo Sorolla states that it holds periodicals—historical press clippings and magazines—alongside correspondence, photographs, invitations and other materials. The Archivo del Museo de Historia, Antropología y Arte at the University of Puerto Rico likewise describes a documentation centre containing magazine and newspaper clippings, letters, photographs, invitations and exhibition catalogues from the 1930s to the present.
