Abstract

The Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical/University of Lisbon (IICT/UL), Portugal, holds the most important scientific collections from Portuguese-speaking African countries, which include anthropological, archaeological, ethnographic, mineralogical, botanical and zoological collections, as well as libraries and historical archives. The aim of this paper is to document the advances in conservation and management of IICT collections between 2005 and 2015, namely how the implementation of institutional initiatives created new challenges for the scientific community. After an overview of the IICT's scientific heritage since the creation of the Cartography Commission in 1883, we characterise several recent actions aimed at preserving and providing access to the collections. Considerations on the current preservation of the IICT collections are presented. It is argued that these collections are unique for tropical science and of critical importance for scientific cooperation with Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa.
里斯本大学 Científica热带研究所科学收藏的遗产:一项批判性的审查和展望
葡萄牙里斯本大学热带研究所(IICT/UL)收藏着来自葡语非洲国家的最重要的科学藏品,包括人类学、考古学、人种学、矿物学、植物学和动物学藏品,以及图书馆和历史档案。本文的目的是记录2005年至2015年间IICT藏品的保护和管理进展,即机构举措的实施如何给科学界带来新的挑战。在概述了自1883年成立制图委员会以来IICT的科学遗产后,我们描述了最近几项旨在保护和提供藏品使用权的行动。介绍了目前IICT藏品保存的注意事项。有人认为,这些藏品对热带科学来说是独一无二的,对与非洲葡萄牙语国家的科学合作至关重要。

期刊介绍: Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.
