On the afternoon of August 15, in Hanoi, National Archives Center I held a ceremony to announce the Online Exhibition "Nothing is more precious than Independence - freedom" and launch the book "Old Indochina Governor-General's cover and Today's Presidential Palace".
This is an activity in a series of events organized by the Department of State Documents and Archives to practically celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Cao Huy - Deputy Minister of Home Affairs said that over the past 80 years, along with the country's growth, the archival industry has actively contributed to the construction and protection of the fatherland, especially through activities to promote the value of archival documents.
I appreciate and appreciate the efforts of the archival industry, which has preserved and conserved the precious historical values left by our ancestors over the years. These products are both historical and cultural, have traditional values, and apply digital technology according to the trend of the times, said Mr. Cao Huy.
Within the framework of the event, National Archives Center I announced the online exhibition "Nothing is more precious than Independence and freedom" including three parts, respectively: Black Night; Vietnam - a resilient nation; 80 years of the festival.
The exhibition aims to introduce valuable archival documents and illustrative images about the resilient struggle of the Vietnamese people during nearly a century under colonialism, as well as the journey to build the country in 80 years of independence. In particular, many of these documents are widely published to the public for the first time.
In addition, at the book introduction event "Old Indochina Executive Committee and Today's Executive Committee", it was written about the space of the ancient Executive Committee and the current Executive Committee from many sources of documents.
The book not only describes the history of the formation of an architectural work but more importantly, what took place in more than a century of existence in the center of a capital of the French Indochina region, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Historian Duong Trung Quoc shared that the book is very timely. A book published by the National Archives Center I is very respectful and sacred, clearly showing that the person working there has a close connection with other professions.
The book is written in small stories with archival images that will certainly give readers not only an understanding of an architectural space but also a historical space from famous to sacred, which is a long journey of fighting for national liberation and building national autonomy.
