| Sumario: | Nowadays one connects the archive world with two main roles: the cultural and the administrative one. However, recently, the archives are playing a new role: the social one. This role brings people closer together which allows to improve different aspects of our society and it helps us promote a different organisation and description of documentary archive. Therefore, the Municipal Archive of Lloret de Mar has introduced different initiatives in order to make the documents more accessible for the citizens. Firstly, it has encouraged the creation of the group Friends of Archive which helps to describe and document the preserved images in our facilities. At the same time Friends of Archive has contributed to the protection of our documentary heritage. Secondly, the Archive has decided to start using the social networks so as to interact with other sectors of the population. Finally, the Municipal Archive of Lloret de Mar has organised a program, named “Intersectionality and archives”, with the purpose of ensuring visibility to silenced memory of different minorities such as women, migrants, gender and sexual diverse people, as well as disabled people. With no doubt, these initiatives have brought the Archive closer to the citizens and these actions have helped to enrich our documentary heritage.
