In recent years, the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country, Artium Museoa, has stepped up its efforts to recover, catalog, and disseminate the archives and documentary collections of artists featured in its collection and/or exhibition program. These collections bring together materials generated in the course of their professional activity and constitute organized sets that document their careers.

The research and cataloguing of these archival materials is an essential task in the preservation of memory and in the generation and dissemination of knowledge.
