To commemorate 30 years of the April Revolution (1974) the Government of Portugal handed over to its National Archives (Torre do Tombo) during an official ceremony today (24th April) official records pertaining to the Salazar and Marcelo Caetano regimes, covering the period 1938-1974. Those attending the function were presented with a dossier with sample photocopies of selected records and two CDs. One contained the same samples, and the other presents in 16 chapters statistics of the Portuguese achievements during the past 30 years of experience in democracy. I was particularly happy to hear during the presentation that the documents now transferred to public domain contain many papers relating to Portuguese India. Any bonafide scholar can now have access to these records.
