El Archivo Como Organismo Vivo – Río Grande
The objective of the project was to develop a catalog of the collection of archaeological pieces that are in safekeeping within the COBAO campus No. 25 of the community of Río Grande. A photographic record of each piece was made, its cataloging, padded boxes were provided for the protection and conservation of the collection and a display case was made to display the most representative pieces of the collection in a school classroom.
This project supports an initiative of the faculty of the institution that is trying to promote the creation of a community museum to be able to show in a dignified way all the archaeological heritage that exists in the region.
