Patrimónios

Publications

Institutions and sources

The leading institutions of Portuguese heritage, for those who want to go to the official sources and the primary collections.

This project does not work in a vacuum: it relies on the work of the institutions that conserve, study and disseminate Portuguese heritage. This page brings them together, as an acknowledgement and as a guide for those who want to go to the sources.

Oversight and classification

  • Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC) — the State body responsible for the classification and safeguarding of heritage; it maintains the database of classified assets.
  • National UNESCO Commission — it oversees the nominations and the management of the Portuguese assets inscribed on the World Heritage List.

Museums and collections

  • National Museums — of Ancient Art, of the Azulejo, of Archaeology, among others, with collections and catalogues increasingly accessible online.
  • Côa Museum and the archaeological parks — primary sources for archaeology and rock art.

Research

  • The university research centres in art history, architecture, urbanism and archaeology, whose output sustains the annotated bibliography in Publications.

Collaborate

Patrimónios is open to collaboration with institutions and researchers — in the review of content, in the provision of duly licensed images and in dissemination. Contact details will be made available as the project consolidates.
