  • Access to collections through thumbnails. This space is dedicated to the consultation of groups of works that stand out for different reasons: their importance within the portal, because they are new or for other reasons that mean they have to occupy a priority position on the main page.
  • Latest documents added. Access to the last nine works added to PDC.
