This group of documents is one of the components of the artist’s archive donated to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 2018. It includes more than 22,000 images that capture his creative process, illustrate his participation in individual and collective exhibitions and record his many travels. It also includes a significant collection of illustrated postcards.

The conservation actions included the cleaning of the items and their suitable packaging. In terms of cataloguing, a pre-processing of all the documentation was carried out, in which all the documents in the Archive were described in a synthetic form.
