Abstract

Starting with the analysis of the issues of "Progetto Grafico" magazine published between 2003 and 2022, the article observes how the archival materials from the Aiap Centro di Documentazione del Progetto Grafico has been used within the magazine by the same association. The analysis makes it possible to detect different ways of using the material throughout the several editorial projects and the directions that followed one another. The goal is to identify possible strategies for the use and the reactivation of this archival material within the magazine.
