Archives
Debates Parlamentares (Parliamentary Debates) is a database that contains the journals of four historical periods: the Constitutional Monarchy (1821-1910), the First Republic (1910-1926), the New State (1935-1974) and the Third Republic (1974-).
The Parliamentary Historical Archives contain information that is structured according to international standards on archival description. The information relates to all the documents which the Parliament has produced or received in the course of its work from 1821, when the Cortes Gerais met for the first time, to the present day.
The Photographic Archives contain photographs, organised into collections and reports, relating to politics, culture and heritage.
As the producer of its own television broadcasts – the Parliament Channel – the Assembleia da República shows live and recorded broadcasts of plenary sittings, parliamentary committee meetings and some events, including conferences and seminars. These audiovisual records, which have been kept since 1997, form the collection of the Audiovisual Archives. The recordings of plenary sittings since the 10th legislature have been indexed and can be accessed by searching the database.
