The photographic and documentary heritage of Luis César Amadori and Zully Moreno: its conservation and recognition

Abstract

The aim of this study is to raise awareness of the work done with the heritage of Luis César Amadori and Zully Moreno, a film director and a film star respectively. This heritage was donated to Professor Claudio España by the couple´s son in 2000. At present, a group of graduate and undergraduate students of Art (UBA, Buenos Aires University) is engaged in archiving this material, highlighting its cultural relevance, which must be understood in a broader context, based on their career and the specific place they filled in the national and international entertainment industry. We introduce here the organization principles and supporting statement of our work, as well as some of the dificulties we faced. This task could be a valuable contribution to the preservation and difusion of our cultural heritage.
