José Sainz-Trueva Private Collection
|
|
On May 22 is held at the Madeira Regional Archives (MRA), a Conference and Documentary Exhibition, as a result of a brand new donation by the collector José Sainz-Trueva to MRA. The documentary display is open until the end of July and may be visited at the Reading Room of this institution, during its opening hours.
The Conference under the theme "Private Files/Old documents: a pretext for an enjoyable conversation," starts at 5.00pm at the MRA Auditorium.
According to José Sainz-Trueva "the importance of private files has, increasingly, gained importance also in Portugal, holding a quite significant position by enabling the enrichment and the possibility of new approaches in the field of historical research. Private files are relevant and innovative sources due to their variety, content and public social importance, and should, therefore be preserved in official institutions, rather than just being personal, thus gaining a far reaching promotion.” This initiative is open to the general public.
