Your family history is captured in old photographs, official and private documents, memoirs and digital files. Over time, without research, organisation and preservation, much of this heritage is lost.
As well as researching the past, it is also essential to ensure that it remains accessible to future generations.
Family history combines fields such as genealogy, heraldry, oral history and the preservation of photographs and physical and digital archives.
On this page, you will find practical courses to help you reconstruct, preserve and celebrate your family history.
It is an interdisciplinary field that combines genealogy, oral history and cultural heritage with modern practices of archival conservation and organisation.
Today, studying family history involves not only researching origins and lineages, but also preserving old photographs, family albums and physical and digital archives, ensuring their transmission over time.
Oral history, for its part, through historical interviews, plays an essential role in preserving family memories that have not been recorded in written sources.
Genealogy allows us to reconstruct family history through parish, civil, institutional and private records, as well as other historical sources. It forms the basis for understanding family origins and connections.

Oral history enables the preservation of family memories through direct testimonies. The historical interview is the main tool for collecting these memories, allowing the recording of life stories, experiences and traditions that do not exist in written documents.
