Abstract


Which are the projects to scan handwritten documents and which are the new technologies of information and documentation of the Historic Archive of the Congress of Deputies in Spain? These questions are explained in this article. The Historic Archive of the Congress of Deputies has proposed –in some cases– and put into practice –in others–, projects to scan handwritten documents and to convert them to digital format, with the purpose to conserve antique documentary and bibliographic collections. Thus the researcher has access to the recovered and optimized digital handwritten documentation, by means of the application of new optical formats of retrieval and storage of information. The information and documentation technologies development in this governmental archive until year 2006 are analyzed.
