Stocks, quantities and state of presentation of sound archives in Chile is known only partially. Together with those belonging to official institutions, private archives have been created. This situation and the need to establish common policies and directions have motivated a private group to form MINGACO, Corporación del Patrimonio Audiovisual y Cinematográfico with the aim of uniting efforts so as.to constitute a net of sound archives for its preservation, development, organization and promotion. One of its main tasks is the realization of a survey of the sound archives of the country and the identification of its materials, state and requirements so as to guide future training in this area and the establishment of common lineaments in order to protect their heritage.
