council and make known the work of the archivist», explains the Chamber of Faro.

The municipality explains that the activity «is developed in the context of the classroom, where a presentation of about 30 minutes is made and, at the end, documents from the XNUMXth, XNUMXth and XNUMXth century are made available, so that students can get an idea of ​​the evolution of writing, having contact with different media
documents – parchment and paper, raising awareness of the importance of preserving these documents and of the risk factors for archives».
