Recovered voices, newfound questions. Family archives and historical research, coordinated by Maria de Lurdes Rosa, Rita Sampaio da Nóvoa, Alice Borges Gago and Maria João da Câmara, seeks to present poorly known or even unknown archives, interrogating and analysing them in the light of new historical and archival perspectives, discovering the ‘voices’ of those who produced them – and thus formulating new research questions.

The book is divided into three sections: “Recovering, reconstructing and (re)discovering family and personal archives”; “From a social, political and cultural history of the families to a social history of the archives”; “Public preservation and promotion of family and personal archives”.

The book launch is taking place at NOVA FCSH on April 6 and with a presentation by Eric Ketelaar.

The book is available here.
