In Valparaiso, Chile, there are since many years various types of organizations -like those dedicated to sports- that gradually have created extensive records on their activities, achievements and, development. Over time this archival material will represent valuable cultural heritage that conveys information on social evolution as well as on urban and political changes taking place in the city as well as in the country. This CHRONICLE addresses the programme on preventive conservation of documentary archives belonging to local organizations that was started by the Centro de Estudios y Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural de la Escuela de Diseño, Universidad de Valparaíso (the Centre of Study and Conservation of Cultural Heritage of the School of Design, University of Valparaiso, CECPC, ED-UV, Chile) from 2011 onwards. The centre's experience with the new programme is described, including actions to promote documentary heritage as public good.
