Abstract

Among the different documentary typologies that libraries treasure, are old photographs, which provide valuable information on the urban development of any locality. These historical images represent facts, spaces, constructions that, when treated with the technique of rephotography, allow any observer to combine two times: the past, represented in the photograph, and the present, where he is, favoring the precise reconstruction of the location. and an approach to the facts represented in the image. Hence, this research, through a combination of theory and practice, aims to show the importance of using the technique of rephotography, to analyze the transformation that different urban spaces have undergone, establish the comparison, recover the historical memory of disappeared or transformed places, and collect facts about events and transfer them to the present, for dissemination. It is concluded how this practice favors reaffirming the potential of libraries as guarantors of local memory.
