Organization of the Archive of the Portuguese Province of the Congregation of the Presentation of Mary

Project Details

Description

This project aims to organize, preserve, and disseminate the Archive of the Portuguese Province of the Congregation of the Presentation of Mary, currently housed at the Provincial House in Palmela. The archive, with approximately 70 linear meters, includes current and historical documents, photographs, posters, and objects related to the Congregation and its Portuguese founder, Leontina Ornelas e Vasconcelos.

Planned actions include:
• Archival description and classification following national and international standards (ODA, ISAD[G], ISAAR[CPF]);
• Physical packaging using permanent conservation materials (acid-free boxes and folders).

The project guarantees the safeguarding of the archive and the creation of a classification scheme for current use. With a 24-month timeline, this initiative strengthens institutional memory preservation and contributes to the enhancement of Religious History in Portugal.
