The Macao Historical Archives closed to the public from 7th and 8th of March

The Macao Historical Archives operates under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and is responsible for the preservation of records of historic value. Given Macao’s geographical location in a sub-tropical zone, it is essential to actively protect paper records in order to avoid deterioration and ensure their correct preservation. Such measures include regular pest control. The next scheduled pest control in the Macao Historical Archives will take place on 7th and 8th of March. The Reading Room will be closed to the public from 2.30pm on Friday 7th March, and throughout the day on Saturday 8th March. It will re-open to the public on Monday 10th March.
