Welcome to ESAGED, the Archival and Records Management area of the FUAB Formació School at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

It is a pleasure to welcome you to this space of knowledge, innovation and professional commitment. Our school is a meeting point for all those who share the conviction that information is a strategic asset for organisations and a fundamental element for the progress of democratic societies.

Archival science, in all its dimensions, is a fascinating discipline of great significance. It contributes to preserving collective memory, guaranteeing transparency, facilitating accountability and generating trust in institutions. It also contributes to the optimisation of procedures, administrative simplification and digital transformation. A sector full of employment opportunities and professional growth.

In an increasingly digital, complex and connected world, the role of professionals in this field becomes more necessary and valuable than ever.

At ESAGED, we work to offer excellent, up-to-date training oriented towards the present and future challenges of the sector. We do so with the aim of educating professionals capable of leading digital transformation, managing information responsibly and bringing value to organisations and citizens.

I invite you to discover everything that our academic community can offer you: education, research, innovation and a network of professionals committed to the development of a discipline that is essential for the proper functioning of the knowledge society.
