about the archive
The archive consists of two websites that accompanied our initiatives and studies of urban statuary. Each of these websites had its time. The first at https://www.sitstaturb.stroit-art.net/ is still a continuation of the second volume of the doctoral thesis, a local web with a functional database and statistical readings - on DVD, 3GB - This website also published the subsequent initiatives and productions within the scope of the UNESCO Chair at the University of Évora. The second website, https://staturb.stroit-art.net/index.html, did not have any further development than the study of the transition from multilingualism to Portuguese-English bilingualism and the structuring of the main lines of action - the geographical importance in the location and meaning of images, the collection in cyberspace of information regarding entities that operate with this significant material, the municipal councils, which are the main patrons and conservators and disseminators of their local sculptural heritage, other financiers, such as banks and institutions of specific interest in a given representation.


Alguns levantamentos estão alojados em sítios Internet de edilidades locais, outros em instituições académicas ou instituições que se dedicam à museologia, e outros têm na sua origem páginas pessoais individuais. Indicamos de seguida alguns desses sistemas, bases de dados, colecções, referências, com alguns apontamentos nos casos que nos pareceram relevantes.
