The biggest problem with the materials is the control of adequate temperature and humidity levels. in principle, the materials are housed in suitable containers, on metal shelves in the periodicals section. Although the containers are fairly stable, the center does not have temperature and relative humidity control equipment, which would significantly improve storage conditions.

Although the CeDInCI has obtained a new location, much more suitable for the conservation of its heritage, and in addition to the considerations of the previous point on temperature and relative humidity, the organization has a very small permanent staff of professionals, therefore the tasks of user service and general maintenance generally exhaust the work time, making it very difficult to carry out special projects such as restoration, preservation and conservation. In spite of this, CeDInCI is making small grants to digitize the periodicals and makes them available on its website https://americalee.cedinci.org/, not only to make them accessible to the whole world without any restrictions, but also to avoid manipulation of the materials. however, the costs of maintaining the cloud are high and the organization´s resources are limited, which means that there is also a limit to these projects due to the lack of constant resources.

The risks raised here are considered in relation to the global increase in temperatures (the city of Buenos Aires suffers more and more summer periods with significant increases in temperature) and the consequences of the thawing of glacial ice with the consequent rise in sea level.

In Argentina there is a surprising lack of public policies for the preservation of documentary heritage. although the CeDInCI has obtained some support (such as that offered by the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, through which the salaries of the small permanent staff of professionals are maintained), subsidies are generally earmarked for specific projects that do not consider the maintenance of the institution´s daily expenses (such as the cloud subscription, or ordinary operating expenses). in addition, the theft of materials for collecting purposes and the illegal sale of documentary pieces is quite common; these heritage-destroying actions are rarely penalized. finally, social conditions in Argentina, a country plagued by a 40% poverty rate and an informal economy sector that has been growing in recent years, are currently complicated and favor piracy and trafficking of cultural property neglected by the governmental sphere.
