A empresa est\u00e1 ligada a hist\u00f3ria do Pa\u00eds e o seu acervo deve ser tratado, estudado e guardado com o respeito que merece. No fim da I Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) Portugal vivia um per\u00edodo social e pol\u00edtico conturbado. A ent\u00e3o jovem Rep\u00fablica sofria uma fase de grande instabilidade pol\u00edtica.
