Archivos abiertos es un derecho

Presentation of the project Archivos abiertos is a right of the Historical Archive of the UNLP and Wikimedia Argentina. The project had the objective of releasing in Commons documents of the GLAM community of the UNLP linked to the claim of Human Rights and to link these documents and disseminate them through other Wikimedia projects. In this way, it covers the release of documents without restrictions in the Commons, their use in Wikipedia articles, the creation of articles and the educational proposal using these sources and working on what an archive is and why it is related to Human Rights in Wikiuniversity.

This project brings diversity to Wikimedia projects, adding situated perspectives on the past and present of the Argentine context as well as the Latin American context in general, since dictatorial processes are not exclusive to this country. In the same way, it contributes to think of the Wikimedia movement in the future as a movement committed to human rights, truth and justice, involving citizens through uploading and editing content in Wikimedia projects.

Archivos en Vigilia:

Archivos en Vigilia, an online cultural and memory initiative organized since 2021 by Wikimedia Argentina and the Historical Archive of the National University of La Plata that focuses on archival documents. The objective is to promote open access to photographs, manuscripts, audios, videos related to memory, truth and justice in recent Argentine history. Every year more GLAM institutions from all over the country get involved through talks and workshops to open their archives without restrictions in Wikimedia Commons.

Archive and memory are related to access to information, as well as to the search for truth and the right to know. The files of detainees, disappeared or murdered, the photographs of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo demanding justice, the documents collected by the National Committee for Disappeared Persons, are some examples that bear witness to what has happened in the recent past and the fight for Human Rights. Humans.

The documents that participate in Archivos en Vigilia are uploaded to Commons taking into account the intellectual property legislation of Argentina and the United States, the Personal Data Protection Law (25,326) and the Access to Public Information Law (27,275). Documents are parsed in terms of authorship and creation or publication dates and are uploaded with different license tags, as well as connected to structured data.
