Custodial history: The documents have been produced by the high school based on its educational activities.
Author(s)/Creator(s): The Óscar Castro Zúñiga Bicentennial Lyceum was created in 1846 as the first men's lyceum in Rancagua thanks to the push of the local community that considered it essential to have a secondary establishment to provide humanistic education to the most modest sectors of the area. Years later, a boarding school was created to receive rural children, and then, thanks to the efforts of the Chilean poet Óscar Castro, the night school was founded to provide education for workers. The Lyceum has a building of solid construction and modern architecture and caters to students from farming families and lower middle class urban workers.
Arrangement: In 2013, the School Archives Program prepared a documentary cadastre of the liceo´s archive in which the documents were arranged chronologically by series. During the period 2015-2018, new volumes were found and incorporated into the archive in a work that was carried out by the teacher and inspector Pedro Rojas. Currently there is no classification scheme.
