Abstract
España es el segundo país del mundo en número de desaparecidos. Son cientos de miles los afectados por esta dolorosa realidad (familiares descendientes, se habla de “la revolución de los nietos”), así como por otro fenómeno vinculado a la dictadura franquista: la trama de niños robados, que también afecta a más de 100.000 casos. La magnitud de desaparecidos, niños robados, personas torturadas, etc.; todo ello unido al largo silencio que impuso la dictadura y que perpetuó la transición, ha desembocado en un movimiento masivo de reivindicación de la memoria histórica y de demandas informativas relacionadas con estos hechos. El movimiento memorialista ha emergido con gran fuerza en los últimos años y está dando lugar a crecientes demandas informativas. El mundo de los archivos debe estar preparado para estas nuevas realidades, y los profesionales deben ser conscientes del papel que las Naciones Unidas otorgan a los archivos en los procesos de justicia transicional. Dichos procesos se rigen por los derechos de las víctimas a la verdad (derecho individual y colectivo), a la justicia y a la reparación; para el ejercicio de los tres derechos el papel de los archivos es central, y así aparece en numerosos documentos de Naciones Unidas. En este contexto, sería de gran utilidad social y profesional que los programas de grado y máster en Información y Documentación se hicieran eco de estas nuevas necesidades dentro de las asignaturas de Archivística y otras (p. ej., Ética/Deontología)
Spain is the second country in the world regarding the number of missing persons. Hundreds of thousands are affected by this distressing reality (the descendants, in the so-called “grandchildren’s revolution”), as well as by other fact related to Franco’s dictatorship: the stolen children’s plot, which also involves more than 100,000 cases. The huge extent of missing persons, stolen children, tortured people, etc., in addition to the extended silence imposed by the dictatorship and perpetuated in the Spanish transition to democracy, has resulted in a massive movement that vindicates historical memory and demands information about these events. In the past years, a powerful movement for the recovery of historical memory has emerged and it has resulted in increasing information demands. The archives field must be prepared for these new realities, and professionals must be aware of the role conferred by the United Nations to archives in transitional justice trials. These trials are governed by the victims’ rights to know the truth (an individual and collective right), to receive justice and to obtain redress; the role archives play in exercizing these three rights is essential and it is reflected in many documents of the United Nations. In this context, it would be very useful, both socially and professionally, that the degree and master’s curriculums in Information and Documentation could contribute to these recent realities within the subjects of Archiving and others (e.g. Ethics/Deontology).
