| description | Nowadays, it is notorious the interest that exists in the academic community for personal archives. In the survey of literature published in Latin America, texts on a specific personal archive predominate -from which the notion of personal archive is elaborated, as well as its organization, description and preservation-, but experiences in libraries are scarce. The objective of this exploratory-descriptive research is to to know, through a survey, the cohabitation of personal archives in Argentine public and private university libraries, as well as the opinion of their authorities regarding the availability of this type of documents in their institutions. The population of study was made up of libraries belonging to 131 institutions of higher education, and for data collection a questionnaire was developed. With 35 responses obtained, the results show that half of the libraries have this type of material, that most of them have made an instrument of description, that 40% have started their digitization and 17% have archival policies, and that 80% of library managers value positively the reception of personal papers. Signs all of them, that libraries are rethinking their practices and policies against these valuable sources of information. |

In the survey of literature published in Latin America, texts on a specific personal archive predominate -from which the notion of personal archive is elaborated, as well as its organization, description and preservation-, but experiences in libraries are scarce. The objective of this exploratory-descriptive research is to to know, through a survey, the cohabitation of personal archives in Argentine public and private university libraries, as well as the opinion of their authorities regarding the availability of this type of documents in their institutions.

Signs all of them, that libraries are rethinking their practices and policies against these valuable sources of information. Hoy día es notorio el interés que existe en la comunidad académica por los archivos personales. En el relevamiento de la literatura publicada en América Latina predominan textos sobre un fondo personal específico –a partir del cual se trabaja la noción de archivo personal, su organización, descripción y preservación– pero es escaso el relato de experiencias en bibliotecas. Esta investigación exploratoria-descriptiva tiene por objetivo conocer, mediante una encuesta, la cohabitación de fondos personales en bibliotecas universitarias argentinas de gestión pública y privada, así como la opinión de sus responsables en relación a la disponibilidad de este tipo de documentos en sus instituciones. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por las bibliotecas pertenecientes a 131 instituciones de educación superior. Para la recolección de datos se elaboró un cuestionario. Sobre 35 respuestas obtenidas, los resultados muestran que la mitad de las bibliotecas poseen este tipo de fondo, la mayoría ha confeccionado algún instrumento de descripción, 40 % ha iniciado su digitalización, 17 % cuenta con políticas en materia archivística, y 80 % de los responsables de biblioteca valoran positivamente el ingreso de archivos personales; todas señales de que las bibliotecas están replanteando sus prácticas y políticas frente a estas valiosas fuentes de información.
