Since 1995 the Foundation administers the large Borges collection belonging to its founders. The collection is a very extensive archive documenting the life and work of Jorge Luis Borges (1899 - 1986). It is curated by Nicolás Helft and includes manuscripts, letters, original photographs, books, magazines and publications, audio and video tapes and other documents. All these documents have been digitized so as to be easily available to scholars. Most texts have been indexed in order to facilitate research. It is the Foundation's primary goal to help and promote the study of Borges' work and make it still better known throughout the world.
Bazaramericano.com: PUNTO DE VISTA, revista hermana de Variaciones Borges, ha creado su página interactiva en Internet: www. bazaramericano.com. Allí se ofrecen no sólo números agotados de Punto de Vista, sino también índices y extractos de números actuales, artículos exclusivamente on line, reacciones inmediatas del equipo redactor frente a acontecimientos, y sobre todo un foro en el que los lectores pueden opinar sobre diferentes temas de actualidad. Si la versión impresa de la revista presenta la serenidad de un pensamiento madurado, la impresión que da esta página Internet es la de un laboratorio de ideas en estado de ebullición.

Hugh Dichmont: Taking initial inspiration from Borges’ story ‘The Library of Babel’, Hugh Dichmont has translated the final pages of American and English fiction (taken from Penguin’s ‘Classics’ range) into Spanish and back to English several times, using a free online translation website. Revealing the fragility and complexities of language, this process results in an erosion of meaning, through which these seminal texts lose their integrity.
