Content Summary:

Printed material relating to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Macau (Holy House of Mercy of Macau). This charitable organisation was founded in Lisbon in 1498, and the Macau branch was established by the first Bishop of Macau in 1569. The publications include Compromisso da irmandade da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Macau (1893), Regulamentos dos estabelecimentos da Santa Casa da Misericordia de Macau (1900) and Documentos relativos ao emprestimo feito ao Leal Senado da Camara para expropriar os predios do largo do Senado e outros para circulação privada entre os irmaos da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Macau (1902).

These works were assigned BRA call numbers (prior to their transfer to the Manuscripts Collection), from BRA 5064 to BRA 5071, BRA 5076, BRA 5083, BRA 5085 and BRA 5086 respectively.

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.
