Among the countless patients that received medical treatment and clinical support, many benefited from his humanitarianism. While those with low income were exempt from any taxes, the wealthier were compelled to contribute financially to the Asylum for the Destitute Infancy – the current Casa da Infância Doutor Elysio de Moura. From the moment that he took over the assistance institution presidency, in the early 1920’s, Elysio de Moura not only invested his personal and family wealth in the institution, but also sought to obtain financial support from colleagues, students, patients and other citizens. The research main lines to be presented will focus on Elysio de Azevedo e Moura’s personal traits, as a psychiatrist doctor and professor, with the purpose of contextualizing the historical records associated with the long professional career in the field of mental health that were organised in a museum context at the House-Museum of Elysio de Moura.131721422porElysio de Azevedo e MouraElysio de MouraMédico psiquiatraCasa-Museu Elysio de MouraColeção médico-científicaEspólio documentalEspólio bibliográficoEspólio fotográficoPsychiatristHouse-MuseumMedical-scientific collectionDocumentaryBibliographical and photographic heritageSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingconference object
