Abstract(s)
Na Guiné-Bissau, a presença colonial Portuguesa e de vários grupos sociais que durante
vários séculos habitaram este país, deixaram imenso património cultural como expressão
de sua tradição cultural e identidade, cujos valores marcaram sobremaneira a história
política, económica, social e cultural do país. Os desafios da conservação e preservação
de acervos e coleções documentais resultantes de legados históricos (testemunhos orais
e escritos) deixados pelas civilizações antes da colonização portuguesa e acervos
herdados do regime colonial, passando pelos documentos de diferentes suportes, ligados
à história de luta de libertação nacional narrados pelos seus atores e testemunhas, até
aos documentos produzidos no período pós-independência, constituem o foco deste
estudo.
O objetivo central da investigação é analisar o estado do património documental na
Guiné-Bissau e gerar informações que possam subsidiar ações que contribuam para sua
devida conservação e preservação. A pesquisa permitiu a identificação de condições das
infraestruturas documentais (depósitos de arquivos, repositórios, museus e bibliotecas),
meio ambiente, mobiliários e a vulnerabilidade dos acervos. Para a realização desse
estudo, foi utilizada a metodologia baseada na pesquisa bibliográfica para o levantamento
e análise dos dados, foram realizadas visitas aos locais e entrevistas informais com
funcionários das unidades documentais e, por fim, procedeu-se a uma análise dos dados
para fundamentação dos conceitos acerca do tema.
Os resultados obtidos revelam as deficientes condições em que os espólios documentais
se encontram atualmente, fruto sobretudo de múltiplas vicissitudes decorrentes das
sucessivas crises sociais e políticas que o país tem enfrentado, exigindo decisões
urgentes com vista a que o património ainda existente não desapareça
irremediavelmente.
In Guinea-Bissau, the Portuguese colonial presence and several social groups that inhabited this country for several centuries, left immense cultural heritage as an expression of its cultural tradition and identity whose values marked the country's political, economic, social and cultural history. The challenges of conservation and preservation of collections and documentary collections arising from historical legacies (oral and written testimonies) left by civilizations prior to Portuguese colonization and collections inherited from the colonial regime, passing through documents of various supports, linked to the history of national liberation struggles narrated by their actors and witnesses, even documents produced in the post-independence period, are the focus of this study. The objective of the investigation is to examine and diagnose the state of documentary heritage in Guinea-Bissau and generate information that can support actions that contribute to its adequate conservation and preservation. The research allowed identifying the conditions of the documentary infrastructures (deposits of archives, repositories, museums and libraries), environment, furniture and the vulnerability of the collections. To carry out this study, a methodology based on bibliographic research was used to survey and analyze the data, visits were made to the sites and informal interviews with employees of the documentary units and, finally, an analysis of the data was carried out to substantiate concepts on the topic. The results obtained reveal the deficient conditions in which historical documents are currently found, mainly as a result of multiple vicissitudes resulting from the successive social and political crises that the country has faced, requiring urgent decisions in order that the still existing heritage does not disappear irrevocably.
