1. Archivo Inundación (Flood Archive): Constructing a free photographic and audiovisual repository in the framework of the twentieth anniversary of the 2003 flood in the city of Santa Fe, Argentina.

The April 2003 flood in the city of Santa Fe (Argentina) is one of the country's major water disasters and the largest in the history of the provincial capital. It affected a third of its population, much of it from low-income and under-represented communities. However, the Wikipedia entry has incomplete and outdated information, and the repository created on Wikimedia Commons contained no photographic or audiovisual records prior to 2013.

Archivo Inundación (Flood Archive) is a proposal for the collaborative construction of a free and open documentary repository on Wikimedia Commons. It is composed of unpublished photographs and audiovisual pieces, flyers and writings, produced during 2003 and the following years, by people who suffered from the flood, activist collectives, civil society organisations, research groups, workers and volunteers during the emergency period, among others.

Archivo Inundación seeks to decentralise knowledge in Wikimedia projects, including documentary sources on underrepresented topics. At the same time, it is proposed as a possible approach for the collaborative construction of open repositories of historical catastrophes, with a respectful approach that avoids re-victimisation.

This presentation includes a proposal for continuity to fill content gaps in Wikimedia projects, working with educational and GLAM institutions in the city of Santa Fe and the region. This second stage includes alliances, travelling exhibitions, training workshops, talks and other strategies to strengthen the network of collaborations formed and consolidated throughout the first stage.

2. Colaboración como motor de Rescate: Enterreno.com y la creación del archivo visual de Chile

En esta presentación, exploraremos cómo Enterreno, el primer archivo histórico colaborativo de Chile, está abordando los desafíos clave relacionados con el acceso abierto a la información, el rescate histórico, el patrimonio en riesgo y la sustentabilidad para el patrimonio cultural. Descubriremos cómo Enterreno ha logrado crear una plataforma digital que no solo preserva y difunde fotografías históricas, sino que también se convierte en una herramienta poderosa para la construcción colectiva de la historia y el empoderamiento de la comunidad.

3. GLAM Wiki as a resource for promoting the dissemination and appreciation of community archives and social movements

In this communication we will address the potential of the GLAM initiative to promote the appreciation of Community archives and Social Movements. Through the GLAM initiative, it is possible to disseminate collections and generate greater social participation in the eligibility of what may constitute documentary heritage, encouraging preservation actions and promoting the dissemination of knowledge. GLAM initiatives give communities and social movements the opportunity to document their history and disseminate their collections. It is a tool that allows different subjects to elaborate and make public their own perspectives of organizational memory. GLAM can be a great ally in raising awareness of the social importance of archives and for democratizing the participation of people that ensures diversity of race, gender and regionality in the production of knowledge, in the elaboration and selection of what constitutes heritage.
