Books and Treatises on Shipbuilding
|
|
The aim of this project is to gather information on the many texts, dictionaries, compiled
notes, and treatises on shipbuilding in existence, and share it in an easy and organized manner on this web page,
both for quick searches and more in-depth studies.
So far only a relatively small number of treatises has been analyzed, but the ShipLab
is working with the Centre for the Study of Digital Libraries, the Portuguese Academia de Marinha, and the Portuguese National Library to make available
an increasing number of texts (see the NADL Project).
