Madeira Safeguards Centuries-Old History in Climate-Controlled Archives
Madeira is preserving its rich history by safeguarding centuries-old documents and books. The regional archive and libraries, staffed by dedicated archivists and librarians, maintain these historical treasures in climate-controlled environments. Among the precious items is a 16th-century edition of 'Os Lusíadas'.
The regional archive database in Madeira is a valuable resource for tracing ancestors back to the 16th century. It houses a wealth of information, including records of ancestors' arrival, land ownership, and social status. This data helps resolve property issues and provides insights into Madeira's settlement history.
The archive also preserves documents that tell the story of Madeira's development. These include minutes of the Funchal town council, which are replicated in other territories. Additionally, the photographic collection at the regional archive offers a visual journey through time, featuring family portraits and historical images from the last 170 years.
Madeira's commitment to preserving its historical documents is evident in its aim to become a 'memory for the world'. The regional library and municipal library depot of Funchal, along with the regional archive, work together to maintain these invaluable documents and books. By doing so, Madeira ensures that its past is not forgotten and remains accessible to future generations.
