Abstract(s)
O Museu do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), criado em 1999, guarda a memória do ensino industrial da segunda metade do século XIX. Um ensino muito direcionado para a prática do conhecimento que recorria a modelos e instrumentos como metodologia. O acervo museológico é constituído por três grandes coleções: objetos, estampas/desenhos e fotografias, num total de 10 mil peças, aproximadamente. A complexidade desta coleção devido à sua variedade tipológica, gera desafios vários de gestão e conservação. De momento, a principal preocupação centra-se nos objetos porque, para além de serem o maior núcleo da coleção, representam a parcela que ainda não sofreu intervenção especializada, como aconteceu com o Arquivo Histórico. A exemplo disto, as pilhas de Grenet e de Leclanché são dois casos de estudo que demonstram a necessidade proeminente de serem intervencionadas. Este artigo apresenta uma contextualização histórica das pilhas, a sua composição e o estado de conservação dos seus materiais constituintes. Os resultados obtidos servirão para determinar as futuras abordagens de conservação e restauro.
ISEP Museum was founded in 1999. It stores the memory of industrial school dated from the second half of XIX century. The education, at that time, was very practical and the methodology was based on models and tools. The collections are formed by 3 main typological groups: objects, prints/drawings and photos, a total of about 10 thousand pieces. The complexity of this collection causes multiple challenges concerning to conservation and management subjects. Recently, the main concern focus on the objects, because the lack of technical interventions by specialists. For instance, the Grenet and Leclanché cells are two case studies that show the prominent need of a technical intervention. This article presents a historical contextualization of cells, their composition and the conservation state of their constituent materials. The obtained results will attend to clarify further conservation and restoration approaches.
