Abstract

During the 20th century, the concept of heritage has expanded and deepened,
especially relieving the monumental, but in recent decades its understanding has
become increasingly diverse, incorporating goods, ideas, processes and ways of life
that, until recently, were simply not considered or were not subject to any valuation. From a political point of view, it is interesting to highlight the way in which the industrial heritage, and in particular the railway heritage, has been addressed in Chile, still with a focus that privileges architectures and technologies over the socio-cultural processes of the men and women who worked there. These research notes highlight the memory of the Barón de Valparaíso Railway Complex from the constitution of an Oral Archive based on the voices that are currently in the memory of its bearers, making visible the railway industrial heritage of the city.
