Paper long abstract:
In this sense, it becomes possible to access this database where records and documents included in archives, heritage inventories, and other databases are kept. These provide valuable information for the study of Portuguese culture. In the case of education, this platform becomes an asset in pandemic moments, since it facilitates access to knowledge by students and teachers to content that is difficult to access. Complementarily, provided with images they also provide enhanced information. In parallel, the fact that the main Portuguese museums and monuments have online pages where it is possible to make virtual visits and have access to the spaces, even if virtually, of course, manifest themselves fundamental in situations where access is difficult. It is considered that nowadays, the fact that the spaces may be closed, is not an impediment to make a visit, as well as to study and understand Portuguese culture. In this paper, we intend to show the use of these Portuguese digital platforms for the study of its culture, showing that they are an added value.
