Guáimaro, April 7th – Through effective work in document management, the Historical Archive located in this city ensures the preventive conservation of documents, as a guarantee of the legal and administrative evolution of society.
The institution's main purposes include rescuing, classifying, preserving, managing, cataloging, and making available for public consultation documentation containing valuable elements of collective memory.
Several services are offered at this center, where historical documents received by donation, deposit, transfer, and acquisition can be stored.
According to researchers, promoting archival awareness is a necessary step in the effort to preserve historical memory, based on the development of knowledge and sensitivity to understand, identify, and value society’s documentary foundation.
The holdings and collections of the Municipal Archive allow users to expand their economic, political, legal, and social culture for handling and processing information, contributing to the development of their culture and scientific knowledge.
Documents are the basic tool of a historian and the evidence of a past that can still be reinterpreted, stated the distinguished researcher from Guáimaro, Desiderio Borroto Fernández, before the local press.
