Within the Citadel of the National Museum of History at the Castle of Chapultepec , José María Muñoz Bonilla, coordinator of Mexico’s INAH centers , stated that the agreement was made to train community groups for the protection, preservation, research, and dissemination of the country’s cultural heritage.
“This is meant to promote the exchange of historic knowledge to sustain technical rulings at INAH. We want to promote information campaigns to preserve our collective memory, our celebrations and traditions, as well as the historic memory of illustrious events and characters in our community,” he added.
