The Archives and Documentation Centre of the Student Federation of the University of Chile is pleased to invite you to the Fourth Interdisciplinary Seminar on Archives in Chile(SIAC). The Archives of repression in Chile: Absences, findings and possible whereabouts.
The objective of the 4th SIAC is to discuss the problems and inadequacies in matters of truth, justice, memory and reparation in Chile resulting from the lack of knowledge of the fate and/or whereabouts of the archives of repression: that is, of the documentary evidence of the terrorist and repressive activities carried out by the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) and the National Information Centre (CNI) between 1974 and 1990.

This activity is a continuation of three successful previous versions that the FECH Archive has organised since 2014, with the sponsorship and support of other organisations and individuals. During this time, the SIAC has become a platform for discussion and meeting between archivists and professionals from different disciplines to formulate critical diagnoses to improve aspects of the archival reality.
