“Oficina do Escrivão de Albufeira” has already led 600 students to copy a Manuelino Charter

The use of shaving pens to copy old documents, such as the Foral Manuelino de Albufeira, is one of the activities that «about 600 students» from the 1st cycle of schools in the municipality of Albufeira have already carried out as part of the “Oficina do Ecrivão de Albufeira” initiative. ”.

And when the copy is finished, students use the seal to seal their documents. The activity also gives the right to an official certificate issued by the Albufeira Historical Archive, attesting to the good performance in the office of notary.

This initiative aims to make known «the writing instruments used for several centuries», explains the City Council of Albufeira.

Enrollment for future interested parties is open and schools just need to contact the Historical Archive through the number 289 599 638 or through the e-mail [email protected]
