Community video archives have proven a fertile ground to challenge authority within the field of audiovisual preservation, taking over the preservation of a precious legacy of invaluable tapes that have registered key moments of our history, transforming social events, and fundamental cultural experiences. This paper will analyze a set of Argentinian video archives that have been created and managed by their own protagonists, all of which have had a great influence on Argentina's social and political development. In addition to dealing with topics that are not usually retrieved by official memory institutions, these archives offer great potential when considering participatory and heterarchical archival practices, as well as allowing for reflections elaborated from (and not only about) our own region.
