Prezados Colegas,

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para ACERVO no seguinte contexto:

"Como todos os partidos no Brasil, o Partido XXX dispõe legalmente de uma fundação, a Fundação XXX. Sua missão é organizar e manter um ACERVO em permanente discussão e evolução, refletindo as ideias e anseios dos filiados e simpatizantes. Ela é dirigida pelo economista e ex-presidente do Banco Central, XXX. Durante o III Encontro Nacional do XXX, realizado em novembro de 2017, em São Paulo, XXX apresentou um programa econômico com 11 princípios e valores que bem esclarecem as intenções do Partido para levar o Brasil ao clube dos países livres, prósperos e democráticos."

Minha dúvida é como traduzir ACERVO neste caso específico. Normalmente esse termo poderia ser traduzido como "records", "collection", "archives" etc. Mas como o texto diz que o acervo deve ser organizado e mantido em permanente discussão e evolução, fiquei "com a pulga atrás da orelha".

Apreciaria muito suas sugestões e reflexões.

Desde já agradeço sua valiosíssima ajuda, abraço fraternal.

agree  Oliver Simões: Also collection in the sense of the tangible resources that are part of the Foundation. I can't think of a better translation.

  -> Thanks Oliver. Enjoy your Sunday :)

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: That's what I was going to say. The Brazilian-American Cultural Institute had an "acervo" that we referred to in English as its 'collection'.
