| Sumario: | Gaston Bourquin (Switzerland, 1890-Argentina, 1950) was one of the main photographers and postcard editors in Argentina in the first half of the last century. His archive is preserved at the Museo de la Ciudad (Buenos Aires, Argentina) since the 80’s. This article aims to present the survey and research on the archive, and to offer an account of its particularities as well as the ones of its location. The project was launched as part of the 2017’s accord between San Martín University -on the part of TAREA-Instituto de Investigacionessobre el Patrimonio Cultural- and Museo de la Ciudad, with the aim of promoting collaboration for investigation, cataloguing and setting rules of intervention on its heritage. Project’s initial stages have brought out a photographic survey of the collection and the development of a database. Furthermore, an exhibition was organized with a significant selection of Bourquin’s photographic and documental material. |
