Palabra clave [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.1, e206. ISSN 1853-9912.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18539912e206.

The article presents the experience of the Library System of the Catholic University of Córdoba with the move of the Maximum College of Society of Jesus (BCMCJ) Library from San Miguel, Buenos Aires. The joint work between Colegio Máximo and the Library System for the logistics of moving the library and the preparation of the storage infrastructure is discussed. The importance of the collection, with a documentary collection of more than 300,000 documents (books, pamphlets, archival material, etc.) and 800 titles of specialized periodicals, and its transfer to Córdoba in 2017, after 250 years since the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767, is presented. The collection is described, as it constitutes a true cultural treasure, of bibliographic and documentary heritage value, and is considered one of the most important religious libraries in Latin America. The tasks performed by the library staff are developed, such as the migration of existing bibliographic records from a MicroIsis base to Koha and others involved in the framework of the Quality Management System, under the ISO 9001:2015 standard, as well as the development of the related instructions of the Organization and Documentary Registration process and the management of the detected risks. Finally, findings and reflections are mentioned in relation to the transfer of the BCMCJ to Córdoba.
