The
goal of the FIHEP is the recovery, historical investigation, and diffusion
of the life and works of Senora Maria Eva Duarte de Peron and of her relevant
contemporaries. The FIHEP will:
- Promote historical, cultural,
social and political investigation regarding Evita's accomplishments;
sponsor the study of her life, work and social activism; revive public
interest in modern Argentine history.
- Preserve Evita's historical legacy
which exists in Argentina and abroad, acting as a center for the collection
of data and of all documentary material related to her life and work.
- Make known the life and works
of Maria Eva Duarte de Peron and of her contemporaries with the object
of guaranteeing the right of the people to become familiar with their
historical identity.
The above mentioned objectives will
be implemented by means of specific objectives to be developed in the
following areas:
INVESTIGATION
This area will be dedicated to fomenting
historical and historiographical studies and investigations, providing
scholarships and prizes for academic work which relates to the purpose
of the Foundation.
The investigative scholars will
work with other public, private, national and international institutions
with similar interests.
The investigative scholars will
engage in objective studies of the historical era and its people in order
to encourage others to reflect upon and to open up debate regarding this
historical period.
DOCUMENTATION
Bring together all documentary material
(primary sources, books, videos, films, news articles, works written by
and about Evita, biographies, novels, etc.) so as to form a research base.
All collected information will be documented, classified and organized
in a library open to the general public.
The FIHEP will be the depository
for the family's historical legacy and will seek public and private donations
so as to establish a museum to house the effigies, insignia, philatelic
pieces, monuments, etc. which relate to Evita and to the era. The FIHEP
will establish reciprocal agreements with local, national, and international
organizations interested in researching the era and preserving its artifacts.
DIFFUSION
The FIHEP will use outreach activities
to involve the community at large. We will focus on the community by means
of quarterly publications, workshops, conferences, seminars, classes,
and interdisciplinary activities. The FIHEP's database, library, research
library, video library and museum will be open to the general public.
We will involve students (from primary to post-graduate) by means of educational
videos and specially designed computer programs which will acquaint them
with the era and Evita's contributions to it. We will coordinate our objectives
with those stated in the new Argentine Federal Education Law.
We hope to encourage people to take
a proactive role in Argentine society and political life. Together our
contributions will help bring to Argentina and to our world those positive
changes which were Evita's mission in life.
