The handling and management of the public photographic collections in a consensual manner is a matter still pending in Spain. The fact that no specific State-controlled documentation centers exist in this area, nor is there a national museum, is a clear example. The Infoco project is precisely intended to create a guide and census of the government’s photographic collections in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, with a clear international orientation and with the idea of promoting the “invisible” collections and those which are visible, but are widely dispersed in libraries, archives, institutions, foundations and other centers. The goals, methodology and activities of this project are explained in this article, as well as the actions which should be taken in order to achieve this end.
