RESUMO

This paper studied a period of the History of the Cultural Heritage Preservation in Argentina, between 1938 and 1946, the years when Ricardo Levene was the president of the Comisión Nacional de Museos y de Monumentos y Lugares Historicos (CNMMyLH). The work started with the concept that the heritage preservation is a cultural action, in other words, product of a specific time and space, and that there was the intent to rescue, through the definition of the preserved heritage, a specific memory to contribute to the construction of a concept of Argentinean Nation. The context in which the commission action was inserted, the people who acted in it, the advising ideas of the group, the values which have been rescued, the peculiarities of the management, the established heritage and the characteristics of the physical intervention on the heritage have all been studied in order to achieve this. Some research has been done in order to complete these objectives: The one performed on the CNMMyLH bulletins (1938-1946), analysis of the Decree-Laws that defined the heritage, the texts created by the characters related to the work of the Commission, and the one developed in the files of the Dirección General de Arquitectura (DGA) in Córdoba. This approach has allowed the general understanding of the action of the CN, their words, their rites and procedures, to be taken as a ground zero, in order to study a concrete case of intervention in the heritage: The one done during the 1940s in the Church and Residence buildings of the Jesuit Fathers in Córdoba City, Argentina.
