The EVE - E-cyclopaedia of Portuguese Expansion is a project developed by CHAM - Centre for the Humanities, an inter-university research unit of the FCSH of NOVA University Lisbon and the University of the Azores. The project makes available multimedia content of a scientific, educational, and cultural nature on the History of the Portuguese Overseas Expansion.
From an early stage, CHAM invested in building a website, processing historical data and making resources available online to support research and the dissemination of knowledge. EVE is part of this history of involvement with Information and Communication Technologies. The conception of this project and the creation of the experimental prototype date back to 2004. Five years later, on 20 April 2009, the original EVE website was launched, with around a thousand articles written in the meantime.
Because of the type of media resources, EVE is aimed at a broad audience, both in Portugal and abroad. EVE provides articles, images and various working tools that are synthetic but highly scientifically reliable. Scholars and researchers produce these materials. The content's rigour and the topicality of historiographical perspectives are ensured by a peer review system managed by the EVE Scientific Committee.
Some of the content was sponsored by the following institutions:
Câmara Municipal de Lagos
Círculo de Leitores
Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian
Fundação Casa de Bragança
