Arxivem la UAB: call to construct a living memory of the UAB

This initiative aims to create a community file with contributions from the PDI, PTGAS and student sectors which includes the activities and events taking place on the UAB campus: classes, sessions and social events, as well as non-academic activities.

The General Archives Unit and the Registration Assistance Office at the UAB launch the campaign Arxivem la UAB: Memòries d’una Universitat Viva, an initiative open to all members of the university community who can provide photographic and audiovisual material to create a community file of life on campus and at different UAB centres.

The goal is to preserve and disseminate a collective memory of the UAB through digital and analogue photos and videos that reveal moments, spaces and activities taking place on campus: from classes, to seminars, social events and more casual moments. This material will become a testimonial of the past and present, and a legacy for future generations.

How to participate

Contributions must be accompanied by a short explanatory text:

Authorship: name of the person who took the photo or recorded the video, and name of the person sharing the document, if different.
Location: faculty, centre or place on campus where the photo or video was taken.
Title: action or event seen in the image.

The material can be sent in three different ways:

On-site at the office of General Archives Unit and the Registration Assistance Office.
Via e-mail to: arxiu.general@uab.cat.
Through the form at the campaign website: Arxivem la UAB: Memòries d’una Universitat Viva.

By sending the material, participants grant the General Archives Unit the rights to exploit, reproduce, lend and consult it, with the guarantee that the authorship will always be cited in the event of public use. Likewise, the person providing the material authorises the processing of their data for the sole purpose of properly managing the documents.

The UAB General Archives Unit and Registration Assistance Office has just launched an Instagram account where it will publish photographs, videos and documents that show the past and present of the UAB, with the aim of sharing this heritage with the entire community and giving visibility to the University's collective memory.
