Collections

The creation of the Centre for Culture Studies in Portugal of the University of Porto is rooted in the legacy of Vasco Graça Moura [Porto, 1942 - Lisbon, 2014]. His entired collection (comprising books, magazines, manuscripts, documentation in multiple formats, and objects), originating from his “Casa dos Livros”, was entrusted to FLUP by his children under a commodatum agreement.
