The Trans Memory Archive (AMT) of Argentina is created, first conceived in the 1990s by travesti-trans activists, Claudia Pía Baudracco and María Belén Correa. Following Baudracco’s death in 2012, the AMT is formalized in 2014 as a digital preservation project to protect the historical memory of the travesti/trans community from the early 1900s to the present. The Archive inspires several other memory projects across Latin America.

A large group of marchers proceeds down a tree-lined street in Buenos Aires carrying a wide banner for the Archivo de la Memoria Trans Argentina (Argentine Trans Memory Archive). The banner is covered with archival photographs of travestis and trans women spanning several decades. Participants of different ages walk together behind the banner, while one person holds a sign reading "LEY INTEGRAL TRANS ¡YA!" ("Comprehensive Trans Law Now!")
