There’s something for everyone at the Fourth Book Fair of Dominican History sponsored by the National Archives under historian Roberto Cassa. The fair, which will last from 30 October until for November, will feature the role of cinema, theater and the arts as pedagogical tools for teaching history.
The Archives wants to emphasize the availability of audiovisual materials for scholars and researchers. Three short documentaries will be shown during the fair: Flor de Azúcar will be shown at noon on 2 November; Republica del Color will be shown on Friday three November at nine in the morning and, finally, Del Fondo de la Noche will be presented on Saturday 4 November at 9:30 in the morning.
There will be talks by art historians, and musicologists will show how to use the arts as a way of teaching history. The fair will be inaugurated next Monday at 10 AM. Some 17 books will be released and there will be workshops, conferences, expositions and the sale of books.
The events will take place at the National Archives building at Calle Modesto 2, Zona Universitaria.
