Round table The archives of the exile press
The International Congress The Press of Exile(s) took place on the 10th and 11th of October 2024, at the Centro de Documentação 25 de Abril of the Universidade de Coimbra, the first IGSCP-PE event in that city. The round table The archives of the exile press was one of the moments of the meeting that we considered important to highlight with its recording for wider public access. It counted on the participation of representatives from the three documentation centers involved in the congress organization and also researchers from the Historical Archive of Mozambique. For imperative reasons, Dr. Diana Afonso Luhuma, director of the National Library of Angola, and a member of the Organization of the Congress, was unable to participate.
The initiative is inseparable from IGSCP-PE's consistent commitment to encouraging debate on collaborative policies between researchers and libraries, documentation centers and archives, both physical and digital, aiming at preservation, specialized knowledge of funds, open access and management of scarce resources. Among other topics, we talked about the difficult conditions of documentary reconstruction of exile periodicals, their importance for the intellectual and political history of resistance movements to the Portuguese dictatorship and colonialism, the specificity of the documentation centers involved in this event and the potential of collaborative experiences, as was the case with the creation of the document Imprensa de Exílio e Emigração (oposição à ditadura portuguesa, 1926-1974).
The recording, provided by CD25A, is available at the Youtube channel of both IGSCP-PE and the Centro de Documentação 25 de Abril.
