INTERNAL CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL TANGIBLE ASSETS IN MEXICO: A first step to their protection

Summary

Mexico is a country with a cultural heritage that has given him a unique identity. We have a wealth of collections ranging from the paleontological and archaeological, to the historical and ethnographic. These collections require a control that will allow both federal institutions and individuals to be aware of what they have under their care, as it is one of the serious problems they face today.

One of the main objectives of this brief presentation will be:

To give an insight into the control and management of collections in a general framework that will allow those responsible for guarding these tangible assets to know the existence of easy and practical ways to bring to fruition this task and ensure full compliance with the laws. At the same time, raise awareness among federal authorities and civil associations that they have in their hands the care and preservation of the cultural heritage of the nation.
