National Day
This stamp commemorates National Archives Day and pays tribute to Khérédine Pasha (1820-1890), the great reformer who founded the State Archives Office in 1874. The illustration presents the portrait of this visionary next to an old manuscript written in pen, symbolizing the preservation of the national documentary memory. The message underlines that archives are the foundation of history and sovereignty, and that their preservation is an essential act of citizenship to understand Tunisia's reformist past and shed light on its future.
