Archive Ricardo Lagos E.
Through our data base (Spanish Only), our users will be able to search nearly 40,000 documents either in text, audio, video or picture format.
The Archive of Ricardo Lagos Escobar started as a joint effort between the Republic Presidency And the National Archive during Ricardo Lagos’ government period. It continues to increase now under its current custodian, Fundación Democracia y Desarrollo.
Since mid-2011 we have been intensely working on improving the users’ access to the existing documentation. The data base originally developed in the Presidency, in which heterogeneous data coming from different systems was gathered on just one platform, has been replaced by a system with increased flexibility to include new non-traditional records. We have rescued and included thousands of old and new records of documents into our data base. Gradually, keywords are being added to those records lacking them.
The online data base is updated every week.
