(Librarian at European Southern Observatory, Chile)
Description
In this presentation, we will talk about our interest as the Library, Documentation and Information Services Department at the European Southern Observatory, in developing an historical archive with the documentation available at our telescopes. In particular, those available at La Silla and Paranal observatories. This is relevant not only for our institution but also to contribute to the history of astronomy in Chile, in which ESO is one of the primary contributors. Although this concern is not new and in previous processes important files have been identified, we still need to define what materials are important to preserve and how we will structure this process.
