Macao Historical Archives closed for two days due to regular pest control

Date : 30/03/2011

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 1st and 2nd of April. The Reading Room will be closed to the public from 2.30pm on Friday 1st April, and throughout the day on Saturday 2nd April. It will re-open to the public on Monday 4th April.
