Arquivos Históricos Nacionais da República da Guiné-Bissau
The Arquivos Históricos Nacionais da República da Guiné-Bissau (AHN; 'National Historical Archives of Guinea-Bissau') formed on 10 November 1984 per government decree 31/84.[1] Part of the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisa, the archives is located on Avenida dos Combatentes da Liberdade da Pátria in Bissau.
History
[edit]Some of the AHN's collection derives from the colonial-era Centro de Estudos da Guine Portugesa.
During the Guinea-Bissau Civil War, the archives suffered destruction and damage to more than half of its holdings.[2]
