300 professionals working in the archives of the State General Administration of the Autonomous Communities and various institutions have participated in a technical meeting organized by the Ministry of Culture, through the General Directorate of Books, Archives and Libraries, entitled Archives facing the challenge of digitalisation.

The Law on Citizens' Electronic Access to Public Services requires major changes in the legal status of documents, records and archives management and changes in the treatment and basic information tools that provides for exchange between archivists and officials.

The aim of this conference brought professional archivists together to looks at the basic principles of electronic administration and the implementation of procedures, new file systems and prospects of a future law on access to administrative information.
