The institutional repositories developed by universities are necessary infrastructures to guarantee access to scientific literature for all citizens. Argentina, since 2013, has a national law that obligues the entities of the Science and Technology System to generate open access repositories, and its researchers to deposit a copy of their work there. This article analyzes the development and evolution of these repositories in Argentine national universities in relation to public policies implemented at the national level, which are detailed in a chronology. Through direct observation of university websites, repositories and other open access initiatives are identified and information is systematized. Then, through interviews, the perspective and point of view of its managers are investigated to learn about the ways in which public policies are interrelated with institutional realities. Finally, the features of the repositories in the current institutional and political situation are discussed
