Over the years, the Collection has been directed by the author's heirs; currently, it is represented by Jana Angulo Prieto, the composer's great-granddaughter.
As part of their activities, together with their work team, they have taken on the task of collecting existing material related to the works of Carlos Chávez, classifying it and systematizing its use to form a virtual archive that, subsequently, is susceptible to consultation for anyone interested in studying the life and work of Carlos Chávez.
To do this, we work cooperatively with experts from other areas of culture.
