This is your chance to purchase books and increase your knowledge of Dominican history.
The General Archives of the Nation (AGN) has announced a Dominican History Book Fair for 6-12 October 2014 from 8:30am to 9pm. Some 2,000 history-related books will be on display.
The AGN says that over the past 10 years around 2,200 books on historic topics sponsored by several institutions have been published. The AGN has also published 214 works since 2005, when historian Roberto Cassa took over the leadership of the influential institution.
Cassa says that the fair seeks to encourage students, historians, researches, specialists and the general public to become aware of these publications that are an essential complement to the work of preservation and dissemination of Dominican historical memory. The fair also seeks to contribute to strengthening the national identity and will be a space for Dominicans to encounter their past.
The Fair will take place at the General Archives of the Nation, located at Calle Modesto Diaz 2 in the Zona Universitaria, Santo Domingo.
