THE ARCHIVES IN THE LATIN-AMERICAN CITY OF CULTURE AND BOOK 2007

We are pleased to inform you that our "Documentation Sciences Foundation" 
(Spain) has been included in the ARCA project (Congress-academy
articulation) which is promoted and directed by the Senate of the Republic 
of Colombia. The aim of this project is to provide greater transparency 
to the law creation process by the active participation of universities, 
institutions, thought centers, observatories and civil community academic 
organizations which will have the opportunity to contribute their ideas 
and knowledge.

Thanks to this contribution and due to the fact that the city of Bogotá
(Colombia) will be setting of multiple cultural programs in the context 
of the city having been named "Latin-American Capital of Culture in 2007" 
by UCC, and "World Capital of the Books" by UNESCO, the Documentation 
Sciences Foundation is organizing together with Archiblios Foundation 
(Colombia), with the back up and participation of the Senate of the 
Republic of Colombia, an "International Exhibition and Conferences of 
Archives" in Bogotá from 23rd to 27th May, 2007.

The Honorific Presidents of this event are Dra. Dilian Francisca Toro 
Torres, Chairwoman of the Honorable Senate of the Republic of Colombia, 
and from Spain, the scientist and treatise writer of "Documentation Sciences" 
Dra. Emilia Curras, among other personalities in the Honor Committee - 
Dr. Antonia Heredia Herredia, Dr. Alfredo Cuello Baute (President of the 
Honorable Cámara de Representantes of the Republic of Colombia), and others 
who are also prestigious personalities in the archival, academic and 
scientific world of America and Europe.

AIMS

1- To show the advancement and management of archives (any format and
type) in America, Asia and Europe taking them as reference for current 
and future development of archives in Colombia and Latin-America, thus 
being able to improve the quality of the archival task in all our 
Latin-American peoples. To have the opportunity to broaden the scientific 
knowledge that is involved in the Documentation Sciences by means of 
forums, conferences and a graphic, photographic, bibliographic exhibition, 
as well as high technology equipment for the development and improvement 
of archives.

2- To allow event participants to establish a reference framework 
for the archival management performed in Europe, America and Asia 
archives.

3- To put pressure on our governments, administrations and politicians, 
drawing their attention with proselytizing, philosophical and 
epistemological activities, so that they understand the importance 
of archives in the economic, cultural and welfare development of 
our societies and begin to improve the archive economic conditions 
and their infrastructure.

INVITATION

This is why we are pleased to invite you to participate and spread the 
word among all your collaborators, similar institutions, friends, 
university professors and students so that we are able to gather a 
cultural and social International Archives and Information Society 
Exhibition.

related to the Exhibition and which you would like to show in this 
international mega event.
