Online exhibition celebrates milestones associated with April 25

"Arquivo.pt: Memórias do 25 de Abril na Internet" (Archive.pt: Memories of April 25on the Internet) is the name of the initiative carried out by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), in partnership with the 50 Years of April 25 Commemorative Commission, and which is part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Democracy.

Arquivo.pt, FCT's digital service, developed through FCCN, which has been preserving archived information from the web since 1996, launches this online exhibition that describes important points in the history of democracy, through a timeline of the last 27 years.

The exhibition is based on the dissemination of the historical legacy associated with the Carnation Revolution, contributing to its preservation and knowledge. It presents itself as a journey through time, taking you to old web pages and remembering moments in national life.

It also provides a list of other pages about April 25. In some cases, these are fragments and incomplete memories, but they are nonetheless a window into the past. The criteria for defining the pages to be included in the exhibition were based on the choice of content relating to the commemorations of April 25, pages found on Arquivo.pt on dates close to each year, the search for diversity to include different areas of the country and pages from popular demonstrations and official ceremonies.

Through this exhibition and other planned activities, the FCT is joining in the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of April 25, helping to mark a moment of great importance in the history of our country.
