MARIN AGUDELO, Sebastián Alejandro. Archival training in Latin America: a review of the profiles and competences. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2012, vol.35, n.3, pp.299-309. ISSN 0120-0976.

In light of today's information society, archival training in Latin America must respond to current demands for a new type of social organization, as well as to the particular contexts and developments in the discipline in different Latin American countries. For this reason, it is important that educational institutes that offer archival courses review and analyze the trends in this type of training and the degree to which it meets the needs and expectations of society. This article is taken from the research project ''State of the Art in Archivistics and Archives: Latin America 2000-2009''. In this article a number of points were reviewed about the state of archival training in Latin America, especially with regards to the profiles and the competencies that related faculties have outlined in their training programs. The study took place by analyzing the information available on the websites of some of these educational institutes.

Keywords : Archival training; professional profile; competences; Latin America.
