The importance of updating information. The "Proyecto de Actualización y Digitalización de las Cédulas del Registro Público"

Summary

In 2010 the "Sistema Único de Registro de Monumentos y Zonas Arqueológicos e Históricos" was

developed to face the need of having a modern and strong technological support capable to

cover the legal, academic and institutional aspects that the Public Registry required as a fundamental area of the Institution. It has the duty to guarantee information for query and monitoring activities about federal and particular monuments involved in the system.

Due to the vast universe of information which have been gathered by INAH from its foundation in 1939, to our days, and after the Federal Supreme Audit, the government seeks to incorporate the accumulated data of movable goods to "Sistema Único de Registro Público de Monumentos y Zonas Arqueológicos e Históricos" before its creation with the purpose of standardizing all records, updating the information, safekeeping and location, as well the verification of the collections.

In this paper, I´ll present the guidelines, procedures and preliminary results of "Proyecto de Actualización y Digitalización de las Cédulas del Registro Público", stressing the importance of this contribution in our workplace.
