Abstract

This article examines the interrelationship between various data sources and methodologies in the study of industrial heritage, focusing on the Northwest region of Buenos Aires (NOBA). Using a qualitative approach, the study collects and analyzes historical documents, photographs, blueprints, maps, and conducts interviews, in addition to the material gathered through fieldwork and on-site surveys. The case study of a late 19th-century flour industry emblem illustrates how these sources, together, enable a contextualized reconstruction of local history and its impact on the territory.

The analysis addresses how the review and combination of these diverse documentary, visual, and spatial sources provide a foundation for understanding industrial development in the region, architectural transformations, and the construction of territorial identities. Additionally, it explores the methodological challenges and opportunities these sources offer for preserving collective memory and managing heritage in the region.

This approach demonstrates how integrating material and immaterial sources is essential for capturing the complexity of industrial heritage and its relationship with contemporary territorial resources, generating knowledge for decision-making and action.
