From Iberarchivos we invite you to the online presentation of the work “Cronológico de oficios de la Secretaría de Estado de la Presidencia (mayo- julio 1963)”, authored by Eliades Acosta Matos, this Thursday, August 27th, at 7:00 p.m. Dominican Republic time via live broadcast : https://bit.ly/2EmqKZA
It is important to mention that this work was made possible thanks to the Dominican Republic project: 2012/127 “Dissemination of unpublished information on Juan Bosch’s thoughts on the 1963 coup d’état”.
Juan Bosch’s presidency lasted from 27 February to 25 September 1963, when it was interrupted by a coup d’état. With the online availability of the selected documentation, both on the website of the Juan Bosch personal archive and in the AGN, and the publication in 2015 of two volumes with the compilation of documents, a vast amount of documentation related to the presidential mandate of Juan Bosch and his overthrow by the military coup of 25 September 1963 is made available to the public.
The project consisted of the review and selection of documents from 1963 contained in the 74 folders of the Chronology of Officials of the Secretariat of the Presidency, covering three periods:
– Council of State: from 1 January to 26 February 1963.
– Presidency of Juan Bosch: from 27 February to 25 September 1963
– Military Junta and Triumvirate: 26 September to 31 December 1963
For this purpose, a framework agreement was signed between the Juan Bosch Foundation and the General Archive of the Nation, for the collaboration of both institutions in the execution of the project.
