This book arose within the framework of the project ‘Fossil Aesthetics’, with the aim of mapping out the archives in Spain that contain documents for the recovery of the environmentalist memory, fundamentally materials from the visual culture produced by the environmentalist movement itself. During the production of the volume, general reflections emerged on the political meaning of the environmentalist memory, and other more specific ones on the possibility of articulating and activating this memory in an exhibition format in museum galleries. As a result of the above, the book presents two distinct but intimately connected parts: the first, speculative in nature about the uses and potencies of ecological memory and the possibilities of deploying archival and curatorial technologies based on the postulates of critical ecology; and the second, the cartography itself, which identifies 22 archival units and includes a report specifying their history and the type of documentation preserved in them.
