Iconography and Audiovisual

A set of photographs, postcards, drawings, watercolour illustrations and other illustration of the 19th Century to the middle of the 20th Century allow us to reconstruct some of the activities of the Botany Institute and its Garden, in Portugal and its former colonies.

These graphic materials are being progressively catalogued in the SIIB/UC Integrated Service of the Bibliographic Information of the University of Coimbra.

The Library of the Botany Institute from these materials made the following available online:

• Drawings and watercolour illustrations of Júlio Henriques ( Portuguese Flora)

• "Academic Mission to Angola: some cinematographic aspects of the voyage" – report of the second expedition made in 1929
