Admission to the Faculty opened the door for him to participate in archaeological excavations at Monte da Falperra, in Braga, where structures were discovered that are nowadays considered to be the palatine complex of the Suebi kings. Other initiatives of special relevance ensued in Bracara Augusta and Conímbriga, as well as tasks such as drawing Roman pottery to help an archaeologist with a scholarship from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. After completing his bachelor's degree in History and given his need to find a job, in 1971 he applied for a position at the Porto Municipal Public Library. As a student worker and looking for a stable career, he decided to enroll in the Librarian-Archivist Postgraduate Course. At that time, in terms of scientific research, he was already becoming interested in the medieval period and chose Romanesque Art as the central theme of his undergraduation¿s degree thesis. The postgraduate course of Documentation and the preparation of the thesis of Medieval Arts were carried out simultaneously, a circumstance that was facilitated by the choice of the Coimbra-style Romanesque as the subject of the thesis and by attending the professional specialization course at the same Faculty of Arts. The postgraduate course also allowed him to see the world of Museology up close, given the significance of the Machado de Castro National Museum both in institutional terms and in terms of its collection. The aforementioned thesis was defended in January 1974 and it was one of the last undergraduation¿s degree theses to be written, given that they were abolished after the April 25th Revolution. A brief interregnum followed, due to military mobilization, a circumstance that allowed him to have an enriching experience witnessing the decline of the Portuguese colonial Empire. This fact explains one of the rare curricular items that deviate from the two central themes developed throughout his research career, namely: 1) studies of medieval art and archaeology, as a means of gaining a better understanding of the territory; and 2) contributions in the field of librarianship and archiving, whether at a technical level or at the level of management. The aforementioned item, in which unpublished data is provided and little-known facts are researched, while also offering a historical-political analysis, addresses the author¿s experience in 1975 while organizing the first democratic elections in Timor
