REGISTRATION OF MOVABLE HISTORICAL NATURE IN THE PUBLIC REGISTRY OF MONUMENTS. ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES

Summary

As a result from the restructuring and updating of the Public Registry of Monuments and Archaeological Areas, attention that was traditionally given to the broad nature of mobile, prehispanic or archaeological goods, is incorporated formally to the Public Registry as well as the complex universe of historical assets, which from a legal scope covers - practically - from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. This paper summarizes the progress achieved to date and the challenges we might face in an immediate future. The discussion results from an unprecedented institutional effort and from improving practices around the cataloging and registration of historical mobile monuments, resulting in the protection and documentation of the cultural heritage sector in Mexico.
