"Unearths, the books we do not inherit" delves into the family memory of Maria Julia Blanco, its director. The unearthing of his father's student library - recovered in 2018 - is the starting point. Julia guides us through the province of Santa Fe following her family's story. Historian and bibliophile by choice, Julia takes books, which do not know what has happened on the surface, as a starting point to excavate family memory. Little by little it becomes evident that, in the remains of the books, both family history and Argentine history can be reread.
