Archivo Gráfico™ Venezuela is a digital archive created by Ricardo Báez (AGI member since 2022) aimed specifically at World Graphic Design enthusiasts and researchers, that seeks to encompass the most useful information to understand and draw lines of investigation on the history of Venezuelan Graphic Design. AGV is an incomplete and constantly expanding digital archive that contemplates the production of Venezuelan Graphic Design between the years 1950–2000 (in a beta version), and 2001–Now (in an upcoming version).
