Abstract

This paper highlights the active function of archives. The latter often understood as the sole place of conservation, are instead the starting point for the construction of a language capable of narrating and enhancing not only the content, but also the owner institution. Through some examples, the present paper will highlight how each storytelling activity passes through a well-organized archive capable of becoming language.
