The Archive Territory Conference, organised jointly by the Port of Tarragona Archive and Arqueologia del Punt de Vista, was conceived with the intention of being held every two years to bring together those experiences that capture new ways of seeing archives. Because archives are not, or should not be, static or immovable. On the contrary, they are, or should be, changing entities able to adapt to new situations, new documents and new citizens’ demands. They should be able to satisfy all the needs that may arise and, above all, they should be able to transmit them to the society around them, highlighting at the same time their testimonial value.
Hence the name of the conference, Archive Territory, because the aim is to present and debate, where appropriate, the limits that make up archives –the changing perspectives, diversity and plural perception– to avoid unwanted exclusions.
All these aspects need to be revised and include all the new developments that help us grow as professionals and as centres that guarantee the memory and living testimony of society. The First Archive Territory Conference was held in Tarragona on 27 October 2022. It was structured in two sessions. The first, in the morning, consisted of presentations by two people intrinsically linked to the world of archives, although in different ways: Joan Boadas, Girona municipal archivist, and Susanna Muriel, an independent archivist specialising in family and photographic archives.
In the afternoon session, which was held at the Teatret del Serrallo, we were able to see and hear four experiences from Jaume Cardona, creator of La Makineta del temps and a specialist in portraits of abandoned spaces; Mario Pons, screenwriter and audiovisual producer; Jero Rodríguez and Miguel Atienza, hosts of Spanish Television’s Cachitos de Hierro y Plomo; and Shaday Larios, specialist in the theatre of documentary objects. All five are highly knowledgeable of the world of archives and they spoke to us of their experiences and their creations. The Archive Territory Conference, which had the participation of around forty professionals from different fields, ended with a performance by the Improacatomba company, specialists in improvisational theatre.
The Second Archive Territory Conference is planned for 2024

The year 2019, coinciding with International Archives Day, saw the premiere of this innovative activity in the archive world (then in presential format) co-organized with Auriga Cultural Services.
As a result of the pandemic and the limitation of presence activities, this 2021 has been chosen by the digital formula with the aim of reaching as much as possible audience.
To save the archivist, a series of darxienigmas must be solved using all possible wit and imagination to overcome the challenge. The aims to offer a different proposal to bring the Archive closer to the citizens while also making known some of the spaces of the Portst Archive.
