Identity and visual explanations
The IMSV emblem comes from the existing WordPress media library. The editorial layout, lines and explanatory diagrams were prepared for this website. Diagrams do not represent field results. Generated photographs from design concepts are not used as real documentation.
Editorial sources
Texts were developed from the Institute’s architecture, IMSV’s current statutory framework, working documents for the Census and the La Bola de Oro archive. Initiatives in preparation are identified as such. External references provide context and do not imply partnerships.
Spanish, English and French versions are equivalent editorial texts. Historical documents retain their Spanish originals; translated descriptions are not presented as authentic originals.
