The Municipal Archive of Leiria is developing a continuous digitization process that aims to give new life to millions of documents. This project allows documents important for the historical memory of Leiria to become more accessible both to researchers and to the general public.
The digitization initiative has been preserving historical documentation that could otherwise deteriorate or become difficult to consult. Through this process, documents are being converted to digital formats that ensure their long-term conservation.
The municipal archive of Leiria holds a vast collection of documents spanning different historical periods of the city and the region. The digitization of these materials allows the originals to be protected while facilitating public access through electronic databases.
This work is part of a broader effort to modernize archival services and ensure that Leiria's documentary heritage is available for future generations. The continuous digitization process represents an investment in preserving the collective memory of the city.
