Archiving Practice was established in support of the 2003 APROS Colloquium held in Oaxaca, Mexico.

This site was been set up to demonstrate the value of on-line archives created with globalized technologies.

See the images from Oaxaca HERE

This is the on-line guest-book in which hosts, delegates and APROS visitors not able to attend the conference can submit comments, observations and URLs for supporting resources.
