COORDINATOR MESSAGE
The marble industry has always been a periodic activity, strongly influenced by the country’s economic rhythms and by the cadences of economic, social and even cultural downstream.
Wether It was due to the civil and religious architecture, which had their pinnacles and declines throughout the nation and Europe's history, or through funerary art, or even through the investment or disinvestment in the so-called material progress, represented by major public works and transportation, the marble exploitation, the industries that it had risen and the workforce that it created, changed very significantly throughout history.
In this study, the chosen chronological boundaries mediate between the Regeneration and Portugal entrance in the EEC (1850-1986).
The web portal focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on the Anticlinal de Estremoz, a geological formation with an abundance of marble stone, covering the municipalities of Borba, Estremoz and Vila Viçosa and that, over time, has always shown an interesting concentration, abundance and quality of raw material, essential for an economically viable industry.
When we set off for this adventure, for about two years, as part of PHIM project (Heritage and Industry History of Marbles), funded by INALENTEJO (ERDF), we found out immediately the main reasons for the lack of historiographical studies on the marble industry: the great dispersion of sources, combined with the difficult access to some funds and also the difficult task of obtaining homogeneous and comparable series, both in terms of timing or geography. Using an industry image, it soon became clear to the authors that it was necessary to go deep into the "well" of the files in order to "cut" a set of "blocks" of sources that lead us off to some historiography "ornament" that does not stay by the mere enunciation or repetition of preconceived ideas.
The dynamics of exploitation and abandonment of the quarries, the industrial heritage that was being generated over time, as well as the environmental impact of industry have led to a number of initiatives, studies and reflections, like the PHIM project, working as a means to raise awareness for political, administrative and economic agents for the need to recover the memory and Alentejo's marble landscape that, more than an economic value, it is a history, it is a culture and it is a heritage that must be preserved and boosted.
We invite all to visit HISTÓRIA DO MÁRMORE WEB PORTAL.
