Fondo "Armonía Somers" en CRLA-ARCHIVOS : Inicio de un recorrido

Hace poco más de dos años, dos uruguayos donaron la documentación personal y los manuscritos de una de las escritoras más representativas de la literatura uruguaya (y latinoamericana), Armonía Somers (1914-1994). El trabajo de ordenar, organizar, poner "cada papel" en coherencia con el resto y describir los documentos de modo tal que se pueda digitalizar para su acceso público es una tarea de la cual me estoy encargando personalmente en el CRLA- Archivos, en la Universidad de Poitiers (Francia). He iniciado un recorrido que se presenta cada día más desafiante por la cantidad y la calidad de la documentación con que cuenta el fondo. En la presente comunicación propongo describir el fondo, el estado de situación y sus potencialidades. Es mi propósito también que esta presentación sirviera para incentivar a jóvenes investigadores para trabajar con tanto material disponible. Recién entonces podría decir que mi tarea de preservación, con todos sus componentes de investigación, análisis, contraste, trabajo filológico, entre otras, se verá enriquecida y ampliada con nuevas perspectiva iluminadoras
