The Dictionary of Portuguese Historians, available online at the websites of the National Library of Portugal (BNP) and the Centre for History of the University of Lisbon, meets a long-standing need within the field of social sciences in Portugal. It aims to further awareness about Portuguese historians and their different perspectives about historical knowledge, of theories and currents within historiography, of historical and scientific associations, and about journals and publications linked to them. It aims to be a reference work, making available information that will be of use to researchers and to those interested in the history of history, describing the thinking of historians (some of them now forgotten) who were active until the 1970s, while drawing the general trends in historiography, as produced in different fields of knowledge.
