Volume I of a ten volume set; the remaining volumes will probably appear over the next year or so. The conception of the work and the establishment of the inventory is that of the editors. José Mattoso, Paulo Pereira and Teresa Belo are "consultores científicos". Chapter introductions are being written by Alvaro Duarte de Almeida and Paulo Pereira. A large team is working on descriptions of individual units of patrimony as well as documentary research, and a significant number of entries are signed with the initials of the contributors, such as Paulo Pereira (PP), Ferrnando Mota de Matos (FMM), Ana Cláudia Vicente (AV), etc. Cartographical support in digital form is being provided by the Instituto Geográfico do Exército. The work is being produced in collaboration with the Ministério da Cultura and the Instituto Português do Património Arquitectónico. We are accepting standing orders.
