Cavite Studies Center
The
Cavite Studies Center pursues DLS-Dasmariñas vision-mission
of promoting a keen sense of history, arts and culture.
Through careful planning, it endeavors to produce quality research output
and to provide the public a repository of materials relevant to the

this end, the center formulates relevant and responsive programs that
help promote the Caviteño identity; coordinates with the different
units of the university to involve faculty members in conducting studies
on Cavite; collaborates with local and national agencies in promoting
Cavite history and culture; and facilitates Cavite studies by building
an extensive and reputable library collection that caters to the needs
of students, researchers and scholars.

CSC conducts studies on local and oral history specifically by:
gathering data from parish, municipal and/or provincial archives;
collecting memoirs and other documents on local revolutionaries, heroes
and outstanding citizens;
photoduplicating documents pertaining to Cavite which are found in institutions
with rare collections;
videotaping presentations relevant to local folklore, customs and traditions;
tape-recording recollections by people who have intimate knowledge and
experiences about certain historical events;
identifying and videotaping local historical spots;

Fast
Fact
The
idea of gathering materials on the history and culture of Cavite was
conceptualized by Emilio Aguinaldo College under its president Dr. Paulo
Campos.
It was
Dominador del Rosario who was sent by then DLSU System President Br.
Andrew Gonzalez, FSC, to Cebuano Studies Center to study its set-up
and make recommendations on having a similar study center in Cavite.
CSC was
initially housed at the second floor of the administration building
(formerly records section).
CSC opened
Museo Caviteño to house artifacts on Cavite which were collected
and donated by faculty members and students.
Before
the center became an independent unit of the university, it used to
be under the Social Sciences Department.
Cavite
Baseline Survey: 1989 by Celso R. Gutierrez is the first publication
released by CSC.
Dominador
del Rosario, Segundo Sim, Segismundo Añonuevo, Teresita Unabia
and Bernard Esternon, all faculty members of the Social Sciences Department,
have served as CSC coordinators.
In 1998,
the title coordinator was changed to director during the appointment
of Emmanuel Calairo, who currently heads CSC.
