The International Congress Historiography of the Cities is part of the R&D Project "Olisipógrafos. Os Cronistas de Lisboa", a partnership between the Art History Institute of FCSH, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and the Lisbon City Council, with the support of the National Library of Portugal and the National Archive of Torre do Tombo.

In 1879, Júlio de Castilho (1840-1919) published "Lisboa Antiga: O Bairro Alto", a study entirely dedicated to the history of one of Lisbon historical neighborhoods . This innovative study gave its author the epithet of “father of olisipography” (Lisbon’s historical studies), his merit being fully recognized by researchers who dedicated their work to the study of the history of Lisbon in its multiple aspects and readings (historical, urbanistic, architectural, among others).

From 1933 onwards, the municipality of Lisbon, aware of the potential of history in the city's cultural and ideological affirmation, developed a concerted program for the dissemination of documentation from its archives and historical investigations. Through the enormous dynamism of the Chamber's Cultural Services, a program was then implemented that included the editing of a vast number of publications and the holding of lectures and exhibitions.

The present congress intends to extend the current investigation to the history of other cities, in the national and international context, focusing around the main challenges and issues, from scientific methodology and best strategies.

​Thematic lines:
​​1. History and myth in the origin of the cities;
2. City Chroniclers/Historians and their works;
3. The role of the cultural public policies for the development of the historiography of cities;
4. Futures of the historiography of the cities.
