- This news article is related to the public debate going on in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico about the proposal of the state Governor Jose Gonzalez Paras to relocate the State of Nuevo Leon General Archive from the original ad hoc premises in Monterrey City Centre (Juan Ignacio Ramon and Zaragoza streets) towards a an older premises called "the House of the Engineers" at the earlier 20th old factory of steel, "Steels of Monterrey Foundry", today "Foundry Park". The reporter interviewed Dr. Zapopan Martín Muela-Meza, PhD, about this governor's proposal (Doctor in Information Studies, University of Sheffield, UK, and MLS State University of New York, Buffalo, USA, and Assistant Professor in LIS programs at the Nuevo Leon Autonomous University, Mexico) and Muela-Meza stated that such initiative is scientifically invalid and that if the Nuevo Leon governor and people wished truly to save the cultural memory recorded in documents, they must build and ad hoc and ex professo premises to store and disseminate strategically and scientifically the cultural memory recorded in documents. Muela-Meza put as an example how the British Library slitted in two premises: the original headquarters in Central London, southern England and the new and bigger one in Boston Spa, northern England. Muela-Meza mentioned this example could be applied to Nuevo Leon Archive, so the old premises in the City Centre could remain open to the public, and since in the last 10 years there is no space for more documents, then in the new purposeful built-in premises could be stored the new documents no matter how far it were from the City Centre's.
