Part and document of the month 2014

Through a selection of 6 archaeological pieces different moments will be documented in the configuration of these collections, considering the different ways of entering the materials in the museum while taking a tour of the history of Archaeology in the Canary Islands from its beginnings to the present day.

The Canary Museum currently has a documentation center whose genesis must be found in the so-called "library" originally composed of very heterogeneous documentary material (books, newspapers, magazines, manuscripts, etc.) Six documents will bring us closer to how this "library" was set up through donations and legacies, and how three sections specializing in bibliographic, hemerographic and archival material emerged.
