The oldest collection of photos in the CDF Archive is, so far (and I say "so far" because we continue opening boxes and discovering things week after week), the so-called "Nourmahal” album, a collection of pictures printed on paper and dated in 1930. Maybe because they rescue from the jaws of time facts, landscapes and people who hardly have left more traces than those who survived on those materials. After all, that's what librarians, archivists, and related professionals do for a living.Īmong all the documents of the still incomplete inventory of the audiovisual collection, those that attract more attention and provoke everybody’s interest are the oldest ones. It is a true kaleidoscope of formats: the paradise for a librarian interested in knowing how materials used to save memories from oblivion and transfer information to the next generations evolved.
