Modernización de la gestión del patrimonio cultural peruano, en archivos y bibliotecas; aplicando las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TICS)

Peru has a rich cultural heritage; in many guarded in archives, libraries and various document repositories. Heritage materials can take various forms (media) containing information, usually from written culture, from the fifteenth century to our times, usually documents, on paper, and to a lesser extent in other formats: photography, audio, video, etc. . As for the institutions responsible for their custody and administration, mostly have the character of public, which until recently has prevailed the need to preserve, often limiting access to documents for their uniqueness or to avoid the risk in its progressive deterioration, following frequent review. This contradictory situation obliges managing consulting services with certain restrictions, preserving and disseminating more less. Against this, we propose the use of Information Technology and Communication, for the treatment and the provision of information in various documentary supports administering the above repositories; in order to respond to the need for long conservation and discipline could not attend: preserve and disseminate the cultural heritage, performing these two actions simultaneously and without adversely affecting the physical structure of the component materials.
