The restoration of the documentary archive of this plan revealed the difficulty faced by the various institutions responsible for drafting urban plans to inventory the materials used in the planning processes and integrate them into their respective collections. Due to the 1990s analog-to-digital conversion, scattered fragments of the plan's development process were found among files, papers, VHS videos, and diskettes incompatible with current computing. However, a qualified interpretation of the internal processes has made it possible to connect intersecting relationships, present design evidence, map actors, and construct different narratives dealing with the zigzagging nature of the plan development.

El artículo reflexiona, a través del estudio de caso del Plan Montevideo (1998), acerca de la situación provisional de los acervos documentales de la historia de la planificación urbana reciente en Uruguay. La restitución del archivo documental del Plan evidenció la dificultad que atraviesan las diversas instituciones responsables de elaboración de planes urbanísticos para inventariar los materiales de los procesos planificadores e integrarlos a sus respectivos acervos. La década de 1990 era un momento de transición entre lo analógico y lo digital por lo que se encontraron fragmentos dispersos del proceso de armado del Plan entre expedientes, papeles, videos VHS y diskettes no compatibles con la informática actual. No obstante, la interpretación calificada de los procesos internos de los archivos del Plan ha habilitado a costurar relaciones cruzadas, presentar evidencias proyectuales, mapear actores y cartografiar diferentes narrativas en torno a su zigzagueante proceso de elaboración. En suma, se ha recuperado una parte de memoria, cuyo fin último es, en definitiva, el mejor entendimiento de la ciudad presente y construcción de la ciudad futura.
