Archivist/Photographer question: My Dad, who was a professional photographer for 50 years, has moved into a memory care facility. I'm trying to organize his catalog.

Today, #Portugal is celebrating 50 years since the #revolution against dictatorship and fascism. This #article tells the stories about what kind of information the state #police (PIDE) collected about its citizens. It tells the stories of 6 people with #documentation from the #archives
