• Resumen

  • This paper addresses the preservation of places of memory by reflecting upon two issues: (1) the importance of successfully assessing the social significance of a given conservation object, without disregarding its multiplicity, and (2) the relevance of communities for that process. An effective collaboration with communities, and the systematic documentation about the process is presented as a step towards a more complete and fair preservation of the intangible features, including the memories, of the object. In this context, examples from two buildings will be provided.
