A Brief History of Iberarchivos
After twenty years of existence, Iberarchivos - ADAI Programme is one of the oldest
Ibero-American programmes of the Ibero-American cooperation. The Programme
began in the VII Ibero-American Summit on Margarita Island in 1997, which immedia-
tely received the support of several countries and the Latin-American Archives As-
sociation (ALA). In the VIII Summit that took place in Oporto (Portugal) in 1998, the
Programme received a final approval, being raised to Ibero-American Programme
category and was named as Apoyo al Desarrollo de Archivos Iberoamericanos ADAI
(Advocacy for the Development of Ibero- American Archives).

Iberarchivos - ADAI Programme was the new name given in the XII Meeting of the ADAI
Intergovernmental Committee in Madrid on February 2010.
