Archives are a place of custody of the individual and collective memory and a gathering space of that image that the past imposes on the future. Archives become an arena in which certain historical struggles are fought over through the tasks of selections, interpretation, description and censorship of registered memories. Deciphering is a fundamental key to understand archive complex system. These problems are presented in the dramatic play by Samuel Beckett Krapp's Last Tape. It is possible to define Krapp as the perfect archivist model. In order to reach these conclusions, we will analyze the relationship between history and memory and later the traumatic forms of archive will be analyzed.
