Timeline of the creation of the mobile libraries of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s network. This unparalleled programme towards the promotion of reading among the Portuguese population with less access to education and culture, was operated throughout the country between 1958 and 2002.
This timeline presents the main facts concerning the life of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian, businessman, diplomat, art collector and philanthropist of Armenian origin. Born in the Ottoman Empire, he lived most of his life in London and Paris. He died in Lisbon, where he established an international foundation bearing his name for the benefit of all humanity.
In the year that marks the centenary of Madalena de Azeredo Perdigão's birth, we present a gallery of images from the Gulbenkian Archives that portray her in the different roles she played in the Foundation over more than three decades.
