Resumen:
The asteroid and comet photographic observation has been developed in La Plata Observatory since the acquisition and starting of the Astrographic telescope in 1913. This telescope  operated until 1986, providing  a large number of  photographic plates. The importance of that material, that is part of the history and tradition of the La Plata Observatory, is raised into two data bases with inernet access (http://gcp.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar/base/base.html). Those data bases record all the existent information in the plates and in the observation notes of 2031 asteroid plates and 156 comet plates obtained from 1948.
