Applications are open to the Arquivo.pt Award 2020!
In this 3rd edition of the annual Arquivo.pt Award, € 15,000 will be awarded to the 3 best works (1st place: € 10,000).
The deadline for submissions is May 4, 2020.
Works may be developed individually or in group about any topic, as long as they use the information provided by Arquivo.pt as the main source of information.
The functionality allows not only to find images from the past preserved by Arquivo.pt but also to find the webpage from the past that contained the founded image.
Domain spam filter on search page
Another novelty was the inclusion of a filter in the search of pages of domains considered by the Archive.pt as spam. For example, the search for Portuguese geographical points returned better results.

It’s everyone’s responsibility to preserve the memory. We are inviting you to identify web pages related to the elections, as soon as you can, so that the debates and ideas of this time are not forgotten.
Just add to the collaborative list the addresses of pages or sites that you find relevant for the future memory of these elections, through the following link:
