One of the functions of the National
Archives is the promotion of the cultural and educative value of archival fonds.
As such, the establishment of a service concerned with the planning of similar
activities within the National Archives proved more than necessary. It became
functional with the
issue of Decree n° 97-389, 21 february 1997 relating to the organization and
administration of the National Archives.
The main task of this service consists in promoting scientific research and
vocational training by means of all other adequate means. It undertakes the
organisation of records exhibitions on request or on special occasions in
relation with public holidays or official visits paid by foreign important
figures.
In conformity with its above-mentioned objective, the National Archives
undertakes the organisation of guided tours for the benefit of university and
secondary school students, professionals, foreigners…
Besides, the different contributions to radio / TV programmes and journalistic
presentations on records represent a good opportunity to promote the cultural
and educative value of archival fonds.
The National Archives satisfactorily answers all information requests,
formulated by Tunisians or foreigners, relating to the preserved records
available.
To benefit from its cultural and educative activities, requests should be
addressed to the Director General with a participants roll and the visit’s
programme as enclosures. |
