SIS offers 344 political repression documents to Museum of Deportations

The Security and Intelligence Service (SIS) today handed a set of 344 documents representing pieces of political repression files to the Museum of Deportations under a cooperation agreement between the two organizations, Info-Prim Neo reports. To identify the items that are museographically valuable, a special commission has been created on the Ministry of Culture's initiative, composed of SIS archivists and museographers from the National Museum of Archeology and History. The set contains confiscated personal documents, photographs, manuscripts, leaflets, books and others. They will be displayed to public viewing after they are registered. Eugen Sava, the director of the National Museum of Archeology and History, said the first exhibition will be held this year for certain. The documents are part of 71 processed political files. The cooperation will continue until all those about 13,000 cases in the SIS archives are processed. The Museum of Deportations and Political Repressions is a subsidiary of the National Museum of Archeology and History.
