We will also see the case of the prestigious Magnum Photos that being an agency that sells photography also plays an important role for research in this discipline. On the other hand, the issue of digitization will also discuss precisely comparing the main institutions and archives of Spain and the United States. And finally, we discuss the role of social networks (Instagram, Tumblr) especially useful for graphic editor.
