Political commentator, historian, politician, and bibliophile José Pacheco Pereira will present on EPHEMERA, the digital platform for his personal library and archive. It is the largest private collection in Portugal and is comprised of books, periodicals, manuscripts, pamphlets, photos, posters, and other objects. Begun as a clandestine collection of political activity prior to the collapse of the dictatorship on the 25th of April, 1974, its aim is to safeguard a memory at risk of being lost, and to be instrumental in the political activity of progressive organizations and movements. Today, the scope has evolved and it is considered a generalist and international collection with a strong specialized component in contemporary political history.
