ABSTRACT: The historical archive of the Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia (LNEG) encompasses nearly 180 years of geological and mining activity, constituting an exceptional scientific repository and a national geological treasure. Among LNEG’s core missions is the preservation, processing, and dissemination of this unique heritage. The collection is recognised as part of the national scientific heritage, holding both historical and strategic importance for research and possessing considerable economic value. However, the existing collections must be properly organized and digitized to ensure their online accessibility through the LNEG GEOPORTAL platform. Achieving this goal requires the creation and development of a digital data centre that will facilitate and promote the consultation of the existing information. One of the archives in greatest need of urgent organization is the collection of rock thin sections and polished surfaces, which includes thousands of specimens preserved at LNEG. These materials are the result of decades of petrographic studies of rocks, fossils, and ores conducted across Portugal and its former overseas territories (now CPLP countries). The slides and polished surfaces are essential for rock characterisation, and their petrographic analysis provides invaluable support across multiple LNEG mission areas.
