Historical imprints of Quang Nam through archival documents

Quang Nam is a land with a long history, rich in patriotic traditions and imbued with Vietnamese cultural identity. Over 50 years of formation and development, this place not only marks important historical periods but also fosters the spirit of patriotism and indomitable will of many generations.

The formation of Quang Nam province under the feudal period marked important steps in the history of the development of this land. From the initial names and administrative units such as phu, dinh, tran, to officially becoming a province in 1832 under the reign of King Minh Mang, Quang Nam province has constantly changed, developed and has always been a land of important strategic position.

During the French colonial period and the Republic of Vietnam period, Quang Nam province underwent many changes in administrative boundaries, mainly for the purpose of resource exploitation and population control. After 1975, Quang Nam was also divided and merged many times but still affirmed its important position in the overall development of the country.

Leaders of Quang Nam province and delegates visited the exhibition "Quang Nam historical imprints through archival documents on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Quang Nam Liberation Day (March 24, 1975 - March 24, 2025)".

Not only famous for its long-standing cultural traditions, Quang Nam is also a land of steadfastness in the cause of fighting and defending the Fatherland. National history records that, from the early days of the French colonialists' invasion until the country was completely unified in 1975, Quang Nam was always the leading province in the movement to fight against foreign invaders, such as: the Can Vuong Righteous Association Movement, the Duy Tan Movement and the anti-tax movement.

Entering the resistance war against the US, with the victory of Nui Thanh and the creation of the “American-killing belt”, Quang Nam was honored to receive the title “Quang Nam, brave and resilient, leading the way in killing the US”. After the war ended, the brave and resilient children of Quang Nam such as: Comrade Vo Chi Cong, Hero Nguyen Van Troi, American-killing hero Ho Thi Thu, Heroic Vietnamese Mother Nguyen Thi Thu and many other outstanding children became shining examples for the younger generation to follow.

After liberation in 1975, together with the people of the whole country, the people of Quang Nam province entered a new phase, overcoming the consequences of war, restoring and developing the socio-economy. With the spirit of solidarity, innovation and creativity, Quang Nam province has gradually risen, affirming its position as one of the dynamically developing localities in the central region.

The exhibition features nearly 150 documents and images collected from National Archives Centers I, II, III and IV, Quang Nam Historical Archives Center, libraries, museums, and press agencies in and outside the province.
