Still focusing on the most recent donation to the Centre, offered by Lieve Meersschaert, we have selected for this month some documents that make up the section of her personal archive, resulting from her work at Cooperserdo - Cooperativa Operária de Serviços Domésticos (Domestic Workers' Cooperative). This is a small sample of what can be found in this small treasure trove of pioneering and inspiring documents, which we hope will whet the appetite of interested readers for further consultation.
- Doc. 1 - Cooperserdo Statutes;
- Doc. 2 - Details of Cooperserdo's internal regulations;
- Doc. 3 - Training course (1980-81) with three strands: training for cooperative members working in the cooperative's nursery; training on food and health for cooperative members working in the kitchen; training on cooperativism for all cooperative members.
- Doc. 4 - Logbook of Lieve's daily tasks at Cooperserdo;
- Doc. 5 - Cooperserdo sticker;
- Doc.6 - Book by Lieve, entitled ‘Domestic Workers and Cleaners in Portugal: notes by Lieve Meersschaert,’ published in 2025 by the Eduardo Pontes Documentation Centre of the Moinho da Juventude Cultural Association and Lieve Meersschaert.
