Online Lecture with Joel A. Blanco-Rivera

The Archival History Section steering committee invites members of the section and SAA to attend a virtual lecture on Wednesday, February 25 at 12PM EST, by Joel A. Blanco-Rivera. Blanco-Rivera, adjunct professor at the National School of Conservation, Restoration and Museography in Mexico City, will be giving a talk entitled "Archival Traditions in Puerto Rico: Historical Legacies and their Impact on the Management of the Files of the Intelligence Division." The talk will provide a historical context of archival traditions in Puerto Rico within the lens of the archipelago's colonial history under Spain and the United States. Within this historical context, it will analyze the State's creation of records to repress the pro-independence movements and the archival issues that emerged after their public disclosure.
