Hola Ranchos members:Check out this link: http://www.adabi.org.mx/adabi.htm
This is a group in Mexico City that was formed to preserve the
Historical Archives and Libraries of Mexico. Organizations are sent an
invitation to petition for project funding. They are required to
complete the project or return the funds to Adabi. The projects range
from $5,000 pesos to 12,500 pesos (that’s roughtly $500-$1,200 US) per
project. One project in Durango was to scan, catalog and create a
database. ADABI donated the scanner, the computer and a desk. The
recipient committed to completing the project within 10 months. They
show other projects where old maps have been restored, etc.Maria
Alicia,I just stumbled upon it by accident. I was searching for something
else using Google and it came up in my search results. Yes, I
thought it was encouraging to know that something is being done to
preserve our history.
