Subject: WEBINAR SERIES: DSpace Repositories During the COVID-19 Pandemic—World 
Heritage Digital Libraries at University of Coimbra

Dear Colleagues,

Just to remind you about the next presentation of the Webinar Series 
“Repositories During the COVID-19 Pandemic” that will be on Thursdays June 25th 
at 9AM EDT, 1:00 UTC.


On that day Ana Luísa Silva, Mário Bernardes, Bruno Neves, Ana Maria Miguéis 
from the Joint Library Service of the General Library (Biblioteca 
Joanina<https://visit.uc.pt/en/space-list/joanina>) at the University of 
Coimbra<https://www.uc.pt/en> (UC) will present an overview of how UC actively 
supports access to world heritage during this time of Covid-19.

Coimbra University (UC), founded in 1290, preserves an important cultural 
heritage that is part of UNESCO World Heritage<https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/> 
(2013). Over the last ten years, a large number of documents from this heritage 
have been digitized, forming the basis for several digital libraries. In this 
webinar we will present AlmaMater (ancient books, manuscripts, letters, 
photographs, drawings) which is the most historically significant of those 
digital libraries. During this challenging and uncertain time of limited 
traveling due to Covid-19, visitors can explore from their home some of the 
most precious documents that exist at UC. The platform provides access to 
different types of materials and aims at long-term access and preservation of 
digital assets, regarding the Cultural Heritage of the University of Coimbra.

This platform is built around a custom Python/WSGI based frontend and a 
DSpace-CRIS/GLAM backend exposed through the DSpace REST API. Deep zooming of 
Digital libraries images is made available through International Image 
Interoperability Framework (IIIF) image and presentation APIs integrated in the 
backend. The system was developed internally by UC technical staff, UC 
Framework, a University of Coimbra company, and 4Science, a DuraSpace Certified 
Partner.

Since it was launched in 2019, AlmaMater has been enriched with new content and 
it now gathers about 12000 items.

Register for the webinar, “DSpace Repositories During the COVID-19 
Pandemic—World Heritage Digital Libraries at University of Coimbra,”

Best,

Michele
