O acervo histórico da Academia Real de Guardas-Marinhas da Biblioteca da Marinha

Abstract

The object of this paper is a survey of the historical documentation of the Collection of the Royal Academy of Marine Guards, given its importance, which is available in the Special Materials Division of the Navy Library, which covers Map Library and Rare Books Sections, with the aim of encouraging research in a collection of primary sources of high scientific value. The methodology used was based on the works listed in the facsimile of the original manuscript catalog of the library of the Royal Academy of Guards Marine, located in the National Library Foundation by Admiral Max Justo Guedes in the 1970s. With the proper location and identification of this important collection, we now have the scientifc memory of the instruction of the military officers of that time, wich gave rise to the Navy Library.
