Research in progress

Researchers at Archives and Records Management of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have different research profiles and follow different lines of research in a variety of disciplines.

This is also a reflection of the close relationship the center has with different organisations, government bodies and companies to promote applied research and the joint solution of problems arising in the sector.

These are the projects currently being undertaken:
