Bibliographies compiled by Braga, c.1930s-1969

 
Component identifier:
Subseries 11-2
Content Summary:

Manuscript and typescript notes, bibliographic citations and drafts of writings, together with some correspondence, printed material and related papers, primarily comprising working papers for three of Braga's major bibliographical projects.From the early 1930s, Braga began compiling his extensive 'Bibliography of Macau', which was never published. In the early 1960s, Braga worked with Geoffrey W. Bonsall, Deputy Librarian of the Hong Kong University Library, to prepare 'A contribution to the bibliography of medicine in Hong Kong' ; although there is correspondence with Bonsall and the Hong Kong University Press, it is unclear whether this work was ever published. Sometime after his move to Hong Kong in 1946, Braga began compiling the bibliography for the Hong Kong Government's Hong Kong Annual Report; the 1962 and 1964 bibliographies are particularly well-represented.

Immediate source of acquisition:
The bulk of the Braga Collection (including manuscripts, pictures, maps, newspapers, serials, periodicals, monographs and ephemera) was purchased from J.M. Braga in 1966. The component held in the Manuscript Collection at MS 4300 appears to have been formally accessioned as the J.M. Braga Papers in 1975. Several small additions have been made since the original instalment of papers was received. Most of these additions were transfers to the Manuscripts Collection from other collection areas, including a file of newspaper cuttings in May 1975, a set of microfilm reels in 1984, a file of manuscript material in 1985, lists of the Braga Collection in 1994, and two files of assorted printed material and other papers in 2009. As well, several small additions have been made by members of the Braga family. In 1992, various Braga family members donated a copy of the eulogy and order of service for Augusta Braga's memorial service, and in 2002 Angela Braga donated photographs of medals and decorations awarded to J.P. Braga, together with photocopies of early writings of J.M. Braga and eulogies for J.M. Braga and his grandson Michael Braga.
