Vitorino Magalhães Godinho Library
The Vitorino Magalhães Godinho Library is a specialized library, dedicated to research and aimed, above all, at researchers. It is so named since 2018, following the donation of the library by Professor Vitorino Magalhães Godinho, made by the family to the Faculty. In addition to this private library, BVMG also provides documentary funds from 13 NOVA FCSH Research Units. Here, the Samuel Schwarz Library is also housed, a collection with unique characteristics that mainly deals with the history, culture and religion of the Jewish people, preserving works that date from 1510 to 1953. CESEM begun to form a specialized musicological library to support advanced research in 1998; it has grown steadily since and now encompasses more than 7.000 volumes, including old Early Music editions that were once part of the Department of Musicology at NOVA FCSH.
