The 5-day exhibit at National Archives Center 1 will be arranged in two parts. The first part will introduce documents and pictures of trade fairs and exhibitions held in Hanoi.
The second part will introduce documents and pictures of trade fairs and exhibitions held in France, other colonies in Indochina, or elsewhere.
In the past, such fairs and exhibitions, organized to introduce products, create market opportunities, and promote trade, were called “dau xao”.
