The University of Macau (UM) Archives today (22 March) held the opening ceremony of the ‘Popularizing and Implementing the Archives Law: Retrospect and Prospect of the University of Macau’s Archival Work’ Exhibition. The exhibition encompasses the key points of the current Archives Law and knowledge of archives management. It also provides a comprehensive review of the UM Archives’ achievements since its establishment in 2021.

UM Rector Yonghua Song, who officiated at the ceremony, said that archival work benefits both the present and future generations. The university will endeavour to promote the standardisation and regularisation of archival work, and establish a sound archives management system in accordance with the requirements of the new Archives Law.

The exhibition showcases not only valuable archives about UM, but also books on archives management, enabling the public to gain a better understanding of the university’s history and development from an archival perspective. The exhibition is held at the entrance of the UM Archives on the first floor of the UM Library and will be staged until 30 May. In addition, the Conservation Space of the UM Library was officially inaugurated today.
