About the Collection

Macau has a rich educational history, dating back to the establishment of St. Paul's College in 1594, the first Western-style university in the Far East. Over centuries, the education system evolved from traditional academies to modern schools and universities. Today, Macau boasts over eighty educational institutions, including many with long histories.

Throughout this evolution, many artifacts related to student life and campus use have been preserved but rarely shared with the public.

Collection Initiative

To systematically preserve the footprints of Macau's educational development, pass on the precious cultural assets of campuses, and evoke public collective memories, the Macau Students' Union is launching the "Macau Campus Artifacts Collection" project.

How to Participate

• Method: All Macau citizens are welcome to participate by donating or lending items.
• Goal: To bring campus artifacts that carry historical significance back into public view.
• Collection Period: From the launch date until July 31, 2014.

Post-Collection Plans

After the collection concludes, the Macau Students' Union will:

• Classify and research all collected artifacts to supplement Macau's historical and cultural archives.
• Plan to publish related publications and organize exhibitions.
• Share the numerous precious campus historical relics and research findings with the public to promote knowledge of Macau's history and culture.
