GRANADOS VALDEZ, Juan. The digital repository as a possibility of preserving artistic culture. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.18, pp.26-40. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v9i18.409.

The objective of this work was to describe the main steps followed in the creation of the Digital Repository of Artistic Culture (ReDCA), which has been designed with the purpose of safeguarding and disseminating the artistic culture of students, professors and graduates of the degree in Visual Arts of the Facultad de Bellas Artes of the Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro. For this purpose, human sciences methodologies as well as computer tools and digital edition have been implemented. Specifically, for the management of network and communication architectures the following resources were chosen: a Linux server Ubuntu 16.04, the programming language Php 5.6, the Apache 2.0 license, the Mysql database management system and the Omeka platform in its version 2.5.2, which offers a simple and friendly handling for both administrators and users. So far it is considered that the main goal of this work has been achieved, as the repository is already online and its collections are growing, which will offer social benefits, since with this initiative they will be able to protect, spread and even study the works digitized.
