Thank you Pigüé!! à revoir!!

Those responsible for preserving heritage are not only official institutions like museums and archives, but also parishes, businesses, cooperatives, clubs, or individuals who often hold unique documents that these processes help to revalue.

Digitization projects of archival collections not only contribute to valorizing and disseminating historical heritage but also foster collaboration among those responsible for its preservation.

Thanks to the initiative of Amicale and the collaboration of the Pigüé Museum and Archive, the Municipality, and the local Pigüé community, which contributed the resources to materialize the project, we began over a year ago with the planning and preparations.

The city of Pigüé was founded in 1884, with the arrival of 40 French families from the department of Aveyrón. Over time, it received immigrants from all over Europe and European-style mansions from the early 20th century still remain.
