This year the Fair will run from September 30 through October 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
Santo Domingo, September 7, 2019 \u2013 Beginning September 30 through October 4, the country\u2019s National Archive will celebrate in its main headquarters the VI Annual Dominican History Book Fair. The goal of the Fair is to encourage reading and familiarize Dominicans with their national history.
\nThis year the event will be dedicated to Dominican writer, playwright and historian Carlos Esteban Deive, who will present his latest book – the \u201c101 Writings on Toussaint Louverture\u201d (unofficial translation in English) – during the Fair.
\nThe Fair\u2019s central theme this year will be \u201cThe Colonial Period.\u201d Most of the books and exhibits will concentrate on this important part of our national history.
\nAs is done each year, Fair organizers will set up exhibits and book stands so that visitors can purchase books and hold book launching events. The program includes conferences, workshops, panel discussions, guided tours, documentaries and the presentation of various feature films, among other activities.
\nIncluded in the Fair\u2019s overall program is the book launching of eight new books. The majority of these publications are research projects carried out by the General Archive or sponsored by the institution.
\nThe Dominican History Book Fair, faithful to its mission to contribute to document the nation\u2019s patrimony and the cultural aspects of the institution, each year brings together under the same roof historians, researchers, librarians, professors and students. All come together to share their passion for history, while at the same time participate in the cultural and educational activities included in the program.
\nThe General Archive extends the invitation to local libraries, authors, educational centers, companies, institutions, students, teachers, researchers, and anyone else interested in history and literature. Also, to libraries and editorial houses.
\nPainting Contest \u201cDraw Your History\u201d
\nFair organizers have announced a special art contest for children titled \u201cPaint Your History.\u201d The goal of the contest is to motivate children and young adults, between 10 and 15 years of age, to become interested in the country\u2019s history.
\nThe deadline to turn in the paintings is Friday, September 20, and winners will be announced on Friday, October 4, at the General Archive.
\nTo learn more about the Fair and the painting contest, please visit the General Archive\u2019s official website: www.agn.gob.do or social media outlets at @AGN_RD.
