Salvador Heritage Week is currently underway at the city's public archive, offering free talks, workshops and guided visits. The event, officially known as Semana Arquivo Vivo Salvador, runs Tuesday to Saturday and is part of the wider Semana do Patrimônio, which is built around Brazil's national heritage day on 17 August. The week's sessions are primarily held at the Arquivo Público de Salvador, located in Comércio, the lower town, at the foot of the Elevador Lacerda.
On Thursday, a workshop on family memory will be held, covering genealogy, citizenship and access to civil records. The same workshop will be repeated on Friday, offering a practical session. The week culminates on Saturday with the VII Jornada do Patrimônio, including an award ceremony for masters of popular culture and a roundtable on heritage education.
The event is in Portuguese and no interpretation is provided. It is aimed at adults and students, with no children's programming listed. The Arquivo Público de Salvador is easily accessible from Pelourinho, with the lift ride down from Praça Municipal costing cents.
