BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
José Maria (Jack) Braga was born in Hong Kong on 22 May 1897, and died at San Francisco, 27 April 1988.
Jack was the second of thirteen children, and the eldest of nine sons of José Pedro Braga and his wife, the
Australian-born Olive Pauline (née Pollard). He was educated at St Joseph's College, Hong Kong. He lived in
Macau from 1924 until 1946, where he taught English at St Joseph's Seminary from 1924 to 1934, and was
General Manager of the Macau Water Company from 1934 until 1946. After World War II he returned to
Hong Kong, where he established Braga & Co, a small import-export business. In 1949 Jack was awarded
the Cavaleiro da Ordem de S. Tiago da Espada (Knight of the Order of St James of the Sword) by the
President of Portugal. He married Augusta Isabel da Luz (born 19 November 1898) in Macau on 30
December 1924, and they had seven children. Augusta Braga died in San Francisco on 14 December 1991.
Jack Braga was keenly interested in the history of the European encounter with East Asia from the 16th
century until the mid 20th century, and he set about recording and collecting the history of Macau from
the arrival of the first Portuguese voyagers. As well as amassing a large library of books, maps, pictures,
newspapers and manuscripts, he set down the minutiae of the historical record, creating a series of files
and chronological lists covering events, people and the written record from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
In 1937 he began a collaboration with Charles Boxer, a British army officer with similar historical interests.
They became life-long friends.
The outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 led Jack to collect intensively as much of the printed record of
wartime Macau as he could, and the result is a unique and detailed collection which he prized greatly.
After the war, he moved to Hong Kong, extending his collecting interests to the history of British activity in
the Far East. In 1952 he visited Portugal, and embarked on a project of securing transcriptions of the
important 'Jesuítas na Ásia' manuscripts in the Ajuda Library, Lisbon. He regarded these manuscripts as the
most important part of his collection.
His passion for book collecting and historical research dominated his time and interest. During the 1930s
he wrote dozens of brief articles in English and Portuguese, chiefly for local newspapers, and continued
this extensive output during the war. By the early 1950s, his output had become more selective, and the
collaboration with Boxer brought about an improvement in his scholarship. He produced several scholarly
papers, notably 'The beginnings of printing at Macao', Lisbon, 1963.
During the early 1950s Jack came to realise that there was no long-term future for himself and his family in
the Far East. In 1952, his three sons were sent to Sydney to complete their schooling. Jack planned to
follow them to Australia as soon as arrangements could be made. Political troubles in Hong Kong and
Macau hastened his decision, and in 1966, Jack sold his library to the National Library of Australia. For the
next two years, he lived in New York, pursuing business interests.
In 1968 Jack moved to Australia, working at the National Library of Australia as a consultant from October
1968 until February 1972. He had set himself the task of translating into English the most important of the
'Jesuítas na Ásia' manuscripts, Bishop Antόnio de Gouveia's 'Ásia Extrema', hoping to prepare it for
publication, but was able to finish only three of the six books.

Early in 1972, Jack and Augusta went to San Francisco, where they lived until their deaths. Jack was
posthumously awarded the high rank of Grande Oficial, Ordem do Infante Dom Henrique (Grand Officer,
the Order of Prince Henry the Navigator).

Entry on J.M. Braga in his 'A-Z' research notes (MS 4300, Subseries 7.2, Folder 17).
Source
This biographical note is an edited version of a biography prepared by Stuart Braga, 3 June 2008. The full
biography is available upon request, together with biographies that Stuart Braga prepared for each of J.M.
Braga's siblings (from the papers of Stuart Braga, MS Acc09.058 and MS Acc10.087).
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The Braga Papers form a rich resource on the history of European colonisation of East Asia from the 16th
century to the mid 20th century. The papers include diaries; correspondence; draft material relating to
articles, addresses, books, transcriptions, bibliographies and other writings; personal documents, including
licences and certificates; financial and legal papers; business and committee papers; notebooks, notes and
catalogue cards; newspapers, newspaper cuttings albums and other printed material; photographs,
negatives and microfilm; badges, letter openers and other realia; postcards, stamps and other ephemera.
The bulk of this material documents J.M. Braga's life in Macau, 1924-1946, and Hong Kong, 1946-1966, and
his abiding interest in the history of the region. Braga was a passionate collector of manuscripts, books,
pictures, maps, newspapers and other works that supported his prolific research and writing activities.
Although his primary focus was the history of Portuguese colonisation in East Asia, particularly Macau,
Hong Kong and China, his papers also cover such topics as religion, medicine, literature, engineering,
economics, geography and language. Braga considered one of the most significant components to be a
series of papers relating to World War II, particularly life in Macau and Hong Kong during this period, when
Macau was the only neutral port in the region.
In his roles as historian, journalist and author, Braga produced journal articles, newspaper articles, lectures,
addresses, books and other publications. Draft material relating to many of these works is included in the
collection. Together with Braga's own writings, the papers also feature many transcriptions and
translations of historical documents held in various archives and libraries, particularly in Portugal and
Macau. A highlight includes material relating to the 'Jesuítas na Ásia' codices from the Biblioteca da Ajuda
in Lisbon, particularly Braga's translation of 'Ásia Extrema' by Antόnio de Gouveia.
Braga was an avid bibliographer, compiling or collecting lists of works that supported his historical
research and other areas of interest. His exhaustive research notes, the 'A to Z' or 'Biobibliographical index',
number thousands of entries and contain biographical and bibliographical information particularly
concerning the activities of the Portuguese and other Europeans in East Asia, together with other topics.
Another major work in the collection is Braga's 'Luso-Oriental Manual', a study of Portuguese officials and
their contemporaries in China from the mid 16th to early 20th centuries.
Braga's activities as a prominent member of the Portuguese communities of Hong Kong and Macau from
the 1920s to the 1960s are well-documented. He was involved with numerous clubs and associations such
as the Sino-British Club of Hong Kong, the Macao Jockey Club, the Race and Recreation Club of Macao, St
Joseph's College Old Boys Association and Hong Kong's Society of St Vincent de Paul. The collection also
includes papers relating to various aspects of Braga's business interests, particularly a series of records
dating from his time as General Manager of the Companhia das Aguas de Macau (Macau Waterworks
Company) from 1934 to 1946.

Braga's close family life is revealed through the collection's correspondence, and his parents, siblings and
children are amongst the most prolific correspondents. As well as assorted family papers, the collection
features a series of personal papers of Braga's father, J.P. Braga, including material relating to J.P. Braga's
book The Portuguese in Hongkong and China (1944), which Braga edited and published following his
father's death.
There are also extensive sequences of correspondence relating to Braga's historical work, community
activities and business interests. Much of the correspondence includes manuscript or carbon copies of
Braga's own letters. Among the principal correspondents are Laurenço O. Aguilar, Luis Menezes Alves,
Joaquim Morais Alves, Charles Appel, T.S. Bao, Celestino dos Anjos Barreiros, Pedro Correia de Barros,
Edmund Blunden, Geoffrey W. Bonsall, L. Bourdon, Charles Boxer, P. Ramiro Branco, L. Carrington

ARRANGEMENT
The Braga Collection was sent to the National Library in several instalments from 1966 to 1967. Upon
receipt, the material was distributed to various areas of the National Library, largely according to format.
It is unclear what order the Braga Papers were in when they were transferred to the Manuscripts
Collection. J.M. Braga worked on the Braga Collection in the Library as a consultant from 1969 to 1972;
during this period he provided assistance to staff involved in the initial foldering and boxing of the Braga
Papers. A basic list was also prepared.
In 2006, Stuart Braga, academic and nephew of J.M. Braga, requested permission to rearrange the Braga
Papers and improve description of the collection. Stuart Braga worked on the collection in 2007, arranging
the material into 20 notional series, largely according to subject and format. During this process, some
individual items were moved between folders, and some items were segregated. Stuart Braga's
arrangement of the collection into and within the series groupings has been retained, although the
segregated items have been reintegrated with the collection. A concordance has been prepared which
correlates the original arrangement with the final arrangement of material in the collection (Appendix A).
From this work on the collection, a revised finding aid has been completed by staff, using information that
Stuart Braga provided as the basis for the content descriptions. Content descriptions have been provided
for all series, and most series also have a list of the folders contained within the series. Some small series
have been described at the series level only.

PROVENANCE
The bulk of the Braga Collection (including manuscripts, pictures, maps, newspapers, serials, periodicals,
monographs and ephemera) was purchased from J.M. Braga in 1966. The component held in the
Manuscript Collection at MS 4300 appears to have been formally accessioned as the J.M. Braga Papers in
1975.
Several small additions have been made since the original instalment of papers was received. Most of
these additions were transfers to the Manuscripts Collection from other collection areas, including a file of
newspaper cuttings in May 1975, a set of microfilm reels in 1984, a file of manuscript material in 1985, lists
of the Braga Collection in 1994, and two files of assorted printed material and other papers in 2009. As
well, several small additions have been made by members of the Braga family. In 1992, various Braga
family members donated a copy of the eulogy and order of service for Augusta Braga's memorial service,
and in 2002 Angela Braga donated photographs of medals and decorations awarded to J.P. Braga, together
with photocopies of early writings of J.M. Braga and eulogies for J.M. Braga and his grandson Michael
Braga.
RELATED MATERIALS
Related Materials
In addition to the J.M. Braga Papers described in this finding aid (MS 4300), the Manuscript Collection
holds almost 200 individual manuscripts collected by Braga, which have been separately catalogued (from
MS 4301 to MS 4498).
Together with the manuscript components, the Braga Collection also features printed material, maps and
pictures. The books, pamphlets and periodicals have been kept together as a formed collection within the
Asian Collections. Each work has been assigned an individual call number with a prefix of BRA, BRAq or
BRA pam. The newspapers have been integrated into the Newspapers Collection. The maps are held
together as a formed collection within the Maps Collection (MAP Braga Collection Col./1-148). The
pictorial material, including paintings, drawings, photographs and other works, is held in the Pictures
Collection (nla.pic-vn3099673).
Further information about works in the various parts of the Braga Collection is available from the National
Library's online catalogue at http://catalogue.nla.gov.au.
BRA Numbers
When the Braga Collection was received by the National Library, most of the printed works were assigned
call numbers with a BRA prefix followed by a running number (e.g. BRA 5096). Many of these items have
been individually catalogued on the National Library's online catalogue and are held in Asian Collections,
except for several publications that form part of the Braga Papers (MS 4300). Where publications in the
Braga Papers have been assigned a BRA number, the number has been cited in this finding aid. These
publications have not been individually catalogued.
Please note that some of the bibliographical lists, research notes and catalogue cards featured in the Braga
Papers cite works with BRA numbers. These mainly refer to works held in Asian Collections.

COLLECTION INVENTORY
Series 1 Diaries and notebooks, 1916-c.1972
This series comprises diaries, notebooks and an address book kept by Braga.
The diaries include small pocket diaries, larger bound volumes and loose pages of diary entries. The
earliest diary is a single page from a 1916 diary, followed by a 1929 diary, then several diaries from the
1930s and 1940s, many diaries from the 1950s, several from the 1960s and concluding with a 1970 diary.
The diary entries include notes on the day's social and business activities, references to events of
significance, thoughts on readings, recollections of conversations, lists of purchases and comments on
the weather. Coverage of the diaries is sporadic, with only a few containing detailed entries; most feature
brief notes or details of appointments, and often large expanses of few or no entries.
The notebooks primarily contain bibliographical notes on or transcriptions of works of interest, as well as
chronologies of historical events and associated citations. These bibliographical notes and chronologies
relate to the various themes of Braga's interests and research, including history, literature, biography,
religion, philosophy and geography. Several of the notebooks date from the period that Braga spent
working on his collection at the National Library of Australia, from 1968 to 1972.
Further bibliographical and chronological notes feature in Series 7. Further notebooks are found in Series
6, 10, 11, 13 and 20.

Series 2 Family papers, 1915-1992
This series has been arranged into five subseries, beginning with a group of personal documents including
identity papers, certificates, financial papers, photographs, writings and eulogies. There is a small
sequence of correspondence between Braga, his wife Augusta Braga and their children, from the mid1930s until 1970. This is followed by a larger sequence of correspondence between Braga, his parents
and siblings, dating from Braga's move to Macau in the 1920s until 1972. Small groupings of greetings
cards and calling cards complete the series.
Close correspondence was maintained by Braga and the Braga family as they gradually emigrated from
Hong Kong to Macau, Canada, the United States, England and Australia. As well as family matters such as
schooling, health, marriages, births, deaths and moves abroad, there is also documentation of Braga's
varied business affairs and community interests, and his strong ties to the Portuguese communities of
Hong Kong and Macau. Some of the correspondence also concerns Braga's historical interests.
[31 folders]
Subseries 2.1 Personal papers, 1915-1992
A small selection of identity documents, licences and certificates, financial papers, photographs, copies
of early writings by Braga, eulogies for Braga, Augusta Braga and Michael Braga, and papers relating to
the death of Augusta Braga's mother Judith Josefa da Conceição Ozorio da Luz.
Many of the identity documents feature photographs of Braga and Augusta Braga. Among the
certificates is Braga's 1915 certification as a Scout Master for the Hong Kong region. The early writings
include an issue of Braga's family newsletter, The Braga News, no. 3, 13 August 1910, and his 1924
poem 'The spirit of de Gama', thought to be his first published writing.
Further correspondence with family members is found throughout the collection, particularly Series 4
and 8.

Subseries 2.2 Correspondence and papers relating to J.M. Braga's children, 1936-1970
Correspondence, school reports, certificates and newspaper cuttings. The correspondence primarily
comprises letters to Braga and Augusta Braga from their children, particularly Carol, Angela, Pedro,
Teresa and José Braga, concerning various aspects of family life, including education, travel and careers.
Among the certificates is one honouring Braga with the Cavaleiro da Ordem de S. Tiago da Espada
(Knight of the Order of St James of the Sword), awarded by the Portuguese Government in 1949.

Subseries 2.3 Correspondence and papers relating to J.M. Braga's parents and siblings, 1923-1972
Personal and business correspondence, particularly between Braga and his parents, J.P. and Olive Braga,
as well as his siblings Tony, Clement, Paul, Noel, Hugh, John, Maude, James, Caroline and Mary. Carbon
copies or manuscript drafts of many of Braga's own letters are included. The exchanges date from
Braga's move from Hong Kong to Macau in 1924. After the fall of Hong Kong in World War II, Braga's
parents and most of his siblings moved to Macau. At the end of the war, Braga and most of the Braga
family returned to Hong Kong, and then various family members moved abroad.
As the correspondence reveals, Braga was particularly close to his father, and was involved in the
family's interests and affairs. Family matters such as education, marriage, travel, health and
employment are discussed. There is also much correspondence relating to business matters, including
Braga's activities as General Manager of the Companhia das Aguas de Macau, J.P. Braga's work as
Chairman and Managing Director of the Hongkong Engineering and Construction Company and Noel
Braga's involvement with Hong Kong's China Light and Power Company. There is discussion of political,
social and economic matters and events in Macau and Hong Kong, leading up to, during and after the
war. Braga's involvement in the Portuguese communities of Macau and Hong Kong is well-documented,
and there is some discussion of his writings and historical interests.
Related correspondence is found throughout the collection. Correspondence with family members
particularly relating to business matters is in Series 4, while the impact of World War II on the Braga
family is further documented in Series 8.

Series 3 Historical work, 1926-c.1988
Correspondence, including carbon copies or handwritten drafts of many of Braga's own letters, together
with drafts of writings, notes, contracts, agreements, receipts and printed material.
There are two sequences of material: general correspondence and papers relating primarily to Braga's
historical interests (Subseries 3.1), followed by correspondence with particular individuals and
institutions (Subseries 3.2-3.10). These papers reflect Braga's prolific research and writing activities; his
interactions and collaborations with other historians and academics from Macau, Hong Kong, China,
Japan, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia; his involvement with various
historical associations, such as the Sino-British Club; and his connections with various organisations and
administrations, including his role as official historian to the Government of Macau. There is also
documentation of his efforts to acquire items for his library, the eventual sale of the Braga Collection to
the National Library of Australia, and the period that he spent working on his collection at the National
Library.
Correspondents include the Academia Internacional da Cultura Portuguesa, Joaquim Morais Alves,
Celestino dos Anjos Barreiros, Pedro Correia de Barros, Edmund Blunden, L. Bourdon, Charles Boxer, L.
Carrington Goodrich, Austin Coates, Peregrino da Costa, Joseph Dehergne, Carlos Estorninho, G.A.

There is much overlap between this series and other series in the collection, particularly Series 4, 5, 6, 10,
11 and 12.
[41 folders]
Subseries 3.1 General correspondence, 1926-1971
This subseries contains correspondence, notes, contracts, agreements, receipts and printed material.
These papers document Braga's interactions with scholars, publishers, newspaper editors, government
officials and historical, educational and community organisations, primarily in Macau and Hong Kong,
but also Portugal, England, France, China, the United States and Japan.

of his writings, particularly his book Hong Kong and Macao: a record of good fellowship (1960);
arrangements for lectures and addresses; involvement with commemorative events such as Macau's
fourth centenary celebrations in 1955; and his efforts to locate, acquire and translate texts relating to
Macanese or Portuguese history. There is also correspondence regarding personal and business matters.

Subseries 3.2 Charles Boxer, 1936-c.1978
Charles Boxer, historian, was stationed in the Far East from 1930 to 1947 while serving with the British
Army. During this time he developed a keen interest in Portuguese literature and history, and from this
shared interest grew a lifelong friendship with Braga. Boxer became a prisoner-of-war when Hong Kong
was occupied by the Japanese in 1941, and during this period Braga saw to the publication of several of
Boxer's writings in very small editions in Macau.
Various writings by Boxer are represented in this subseries, particularly The Christian Century in Japan:
1549-1650 (1951) and Race relations in the Portuguese Colonial Empire, 1415-1825 (1963). This series
also includes correspondence between Braga and Boxer, printed material, bookplates and related
papers.
Stamps for the bookplates included in this series are found in Series 19. Further correspondence with
Boxer is found throughout the collection, particularly in Subseries 4.4, 5.2 and 6.1.

Subseries 4.1 Pre-World War II, 1904-1906, 1920-1942
Papers primarily documenting Braga's business and community interests and activities in Macau from his
arrival in 1924 until his return to Hong Kong in 1946.
Braga's early career included working for the Agencia Comercial de Macau, c. 1920s, arranging for the
supply of records, gramophones and Edison phonographs from Hong Kong. From 1924 to 1934 Braga
taught English at St Joseph's Seminary in Macau, although there is little documentation of this part of his
career in the Braga Papers. From the late 1920s to the early 1930s Braga worked for the Secção da
Propaganda (Publicity & Information Bureau) in Macau, and he was the Macau correspondent for the
Associated Press, c.1929-1946. From 1934 until 1946 Braga was General Manager of the Companhia das
Aguas de Macau, although this work is more fully documented in Subseries 4.2.
Also included are letters to Braga from colleagues, business associates, officials and others, as well as

Macau).
Braga was an active member of various community groups and organisations, and minute books of the
Macao Jockey Club and the Race and Recreation Club of Macao feature in this subseries. He attended
many social and community events, such as dinners for visiting dignitaries, as documented by the
invitations and other ephemera included here. There is also personal and family correspondence re
various matters, including a sequence of letters with his brother A.M. (Tony) Braga regarding the loss of
American aviator W.G. Brophy, who was attempting the first flight between Macau and the Philippines
in 1931.
There are manuscript and typescript drafts and other papers relating to Braga's research and writings re
various historical, economic, social and other matters, ranging from the history of the Portuguese in
Macau, relations between the Portuguese and Chinese communities, foreign investment in Macau, the
growth of Macau's population, conditions in Macau during World War II and more. There are also papers
relating to the development of Braga's library through the acquisition of books, pictures, maps and other
works relating to his historical interests.

Subseries 4.2 Companhia das Aguas de Macao, 1929-1948
A private venture, Companhia das Aguas de Macao (the Macau Water Works Company or 'Watco') was
established in 1930 to supply water to Macau, which had an inadequate water supply with a very small
catchment area. Braga was effectively the Companhia's founder, and became its General Manager in
1934. He retained the Companhia's correspondence files, located in this subseries.
A memorandum (Folder 23) explains the original water works proposal to build a retaining wall enclosing
a bay on the relatively undeveloped north-eastern coastline of Macau, which would then be used for
water storage. A treatment plant was also to be provided. By 1934, the Companhia had gone into
liquidation, but after much effort was recapitalised, and in 1936 the new reservoir and treatment plant
were opened. Braga remained General Manager of the Companhia until 1946, when he moved to Hong
Kong.
Papers in this subseries include correspondence, reports, speeches, minutes, memoranda, legal
documents, financial documents, architectural plans, research material and photographs. Among the
correspondents are the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, William Boby, Chang Kam Sing, Chow Sin Kum,
Charles Ferguson, G.A. Figueiredo, F.J. Gellion, Carlos Leitao, W.G. Let, Henrique Nolasco, J.M. Noronha,
Carlos Roza, Fred Roza, R. Schwab and the Siemens China Co.
Transcripts of speeches at the 1936 opening of the water works are found in Subseries 4.1. Further
photographs of the water works are held in the Library's Pictures Collection (nla.pic-vn3099673).

Subseries 4.3 Escola Technica de Macau, 1943-1945
Towards the end of World War II, Braga's father J.P. Braga became keenly interested in the
establishment of a technical school in Macau, as a move towards post-war reconstruction in the colony,
which had become flooded with refugees from the surrounding region during the war.
A committee for the Escola Technica de Macau was established in 1942, with J.P. Braga as Chair and J.M.
Braga as Honorary Secretary. The school opened in early 1945, offering courses in architecture,
electricity, air conditioning and refrigeration, accountancy, secretarial practice and Portuguese language.
Less than a year later the school had closed, largely influenced by the return of many refugees to Hong
Kong.
Issues of staffing, curriculum, funding and government support are documented in this subseries, which
features correspondence, minutes, records of expenses and other financial papers, school prospectus,
course outlines, lecture notes, enrolment lists, printed material and related papers. Among the
correspondents are Pedro Correia de Barros, Pedro José Lobo, João Moraes and F.X. Soares.

Series 5 Articles, addresses and notes, 1924-1971
Comprising correspondence, manuscript and typescript drafts, notes, memoranda, transcriptions of
historical documents and other research material, photographs and negatives, newspaper cuttings and
other printed material. These papers are arranged into four subseries: writings relating primarily to the
Far East; writings relating primarily to Macau; writings relating primarily to Hong Kong; and writings
relating to various topics.
The writings include newspaper and journal articles, addresses and letters to editors, mostly by Braga.
He wrote some pieces under pseudonyms, most commonly "J.A.K." or "J.A. Kollard" (based on Braga’s
mother’s maiden name of Pollard). Most of Braga's writings concerned the history and culture of Macau
and Hong Kong, although some ranged more broadly across the general history of European contact
with the Far East. Topics include Portuguese history, literature and exploration, including individuals
such as Prince Henry the Navigator and the poet Luis de Camões; life in Macau during World War II;
relations between Macau and other countries in the region, including China, Hong Kong and Japan, as
well as with those with interests in the region, such as Britain and the United States; and the work of
Christian missionaries in Asia, particularly the Jesuits. Braga's interests were not confined to historical
study; many writings are concerned with efforts to promote tourism and economic development in
Macau. Some of his earliest publications were Macau tourist guides.
The correspondence is minimal, and largely concerns the publication of Braga's writings. Among the
correspondents are Luis Menezes Alves, Charles Boxer, F.J. Gellion, Herbert Hilscher, H. Noronha, Thos.
Cook & Son and the Union Middle School.

Subseries 5.2 Macau, 1924-c.1963
Correspondence, manuscript and typescript drafts, notes, research material, photographs, negatives,
printed material and other papers, relating to articles, addresses and other writings by Braga and
others.
The writings range across a variety of topics, largely focussed on Macau, including Macau's history,
administration of the colony, the role of the Catholic Church, ecclesiastical architecture, the social and
economic situation during the Great Depression of the early 1930s, the impact of World War II on
Macau and the region, tourism and opportunities for economic development.
Among the small selection of correspondence are letters relating to publication of various works, as
well as arrangements for addresses at various gatherings or events. Correspondents include Luis
Menezes Alves, Charles Boxer, F.J. Gellion, Herbert Hilscher, H. Noronha, Thos. Cook & Son and the
Union Middle School.
The substantial selection of photographs and negatives primarily relate to two series of articles
planned by Braga, one on Macau's churches, and the other on Macau's archives. Macanese street
scenes, buildings, social occasions, people (including J.M. Braga) and other aspects of life in Macau are
depicted in these images.
A list of selected items in Folders 1, 2, 17 and 21 has been prepared by Stuart Braga (Appendix B).

Series 6 Books and other writings, 1927-1969
Comprising correspondence, draft material, printed material and related papers, which has been
arranged into three groups. There is draft material and other papers relating to various publications
edited or authored by Braga, including several guidebooks to Macau. Then there are papers relating to
Braga's work on 'Jesuítas na Ásia', a collection of some 9000 documents held by the Biblioteca da Ajuda
(Lisbon) connected with the work of the Jesuits in Asia. Finally, there are papers relating to
Braga's 'Luso-Oriental Manual', a detailed handbook of significant Portuguese officials, missionaries and
their contemporaries in Asia between the 16th and early 20th centuries, covering the era of Portugal's
dominance of trade and missionary activities in the region.
Among the correspondents are Charles Boxer, Sir Alexander Grantham, Hong Kong University Press,
John Keswick, Dorothea Scott, G.A. Smith and H. Vetch.
There is substantial overlap between the material in this series and related papers in Series 4, 5 and 12.
[26 folders]
Subseries 6.1 Books, 1927-1969
Correspondence, manuscript and typescript drafts, galley and page proofs, notes, notebooks,
photographic material, research material and printed material. The papers relate to various
publications with which Braga was involved, either as an author, transcriber or editor. It appears that
some of these works were never published.
Some of Braga's earliest writings were guidebooks for Macau, perhaps arising from his work with
Macau's Secção da Propaganda (Publicity & Information Bureau) from the 1920s to the 1930s. In 1951
Braga edited a special English-language supplement of the colony's main Portuguese newspaper,
Noticias de Macau, and copies of this issue are included here. Later works documented in this
subseries relate to Braga's interests in the history of Macau, trade in the region, the Jesuits and
Portuguese exploration, Macau's economy and the Portuguese language.
Among the correspondents are Charles Boxer, Sir Alexander Grantham, Hong Kong University Press,
John Keswick, Dorothea Scott, G.A. Smith and H. Vetch, primarily re publication matters. The Boxer
sequence also concerns the sale of Boxer's considerable library to the University of Indiana in 1966.
Correspondence regarding Braga's work with the Secção da Propaganda is included in Subseries 4.1.
Further correspondence with Charles Boxer is found in Subseries 3.2, 4.4 and 5.2.

Subseries 6.2 Jesuítas na Ásia, 1939-c.1960s
'Jesuítas na Ásia' is a collection of some 9000 codices held in the Biblioteca da Ajuda, Lisbon,
comprising writings by Jesuit priests relating to their work in Asia. Braga initially collaborated with
Charles Boxer regarding research on the collection, and in 1939 an article by them was published in the
Boletim Eclesiastico da Diocese de Macau (no. 428). Over the next few decades Braga continued with
his research, obtaining copies of many items, transcribing these works, and developing a catalogue of
the collection. He expanded his collection of transcripts during a trip to Portugal in 1952. Braga's
catalogue of the collection was published in c.1970.
This subseries features manuscript and typescript transcriptions, notes, notebooks and other draft
material. A useful summary of Braga's work on the codices is included in Folder 3.
Further papers relating Braga’s work on 'Jesuítas na Ásia' are found throughout the collection,
particularly in Series 4, 5 and 16. Transcripts of codices from the 'Jesuítas na Ásia' collection,
particularly 'Ásia Extrema', are found in Series 12. Copies of many documents from the 'Jesuítas na
Ásia' collection are also held separately to the Braga Papers at MS 4498 (Documents relating to the
Jesuits in Asia).

Series 7 Research notes, c.1920s-1970
There are four sequences of files within this series: a small group of early research notes; Braga's later
'General File' or 'A to Z'; his 'Special File' sequence; and three historical chronologies. Mainly comprising
handwritten notes and citations, the files also feature some typescript notes, together with occasional
cuttings of printed material and related papers.
The first set of early research notes, arranged alphabetically by topic, is a precursor to Braga's far more
extensive 'A to Z' set of research notes. It appears that Braga began his practice of writing meticulous
notes on historical topics that caught his interest soon after moving from Hong Kong to Macau in 1924.
These notes were placed in a ring arch folder equipped with leather tabs; soon filling this folder, he
abandoned it, and continued the 'A to Z' in an extensive number of ring arch binders over the next forty
years.
In addition to his 'A to Z', Braga created several 'Special Files', relating to five major research interests:
Chinnery, Hong Kong, Macau, Malacca and Newspapers. These files were kept separately from the 'A to
Z', probably as they were too large to be taken into the main body of his research notes. Braga also
prepared three substantial and separate chronologies of significant events in world history and the
history of the Far East, particularly focussing on events relating to Portugal, Macau and China.
Further bibliographical notes and chronologies of historical events are featured in the notebooks in
Series 1. A number of the works cited in the research notes and notebooks as belonging to Braga are
now held in the National Library's print collection.
[130 folders]
Subseries 7.1 Early research notes, c.1920s-1930s
Filed in alphabetical order by topic, as kept by Braga. The folder titles are based on the first and last
entries in each file. The research notes include biographical and bibliographical information on people,
places and topics of interest to Braga and his historical research. It appears that this sequence of notes
is an early version of his more substantial 'General File' or 'A to Z' in Subseries 7.2.

Subseries 7.2 General File or A to Z, c.1930s-1970
Braga's 'A to Z' is a set of 'biobibliographical' research notes that he compiled to support his diverse
range of historical interests – principally the study of the history and development of Macau, Hong
Kong and the region, but also general scholarship, including philosophy, astronomy, geography,
medicine, science and religion. These notes formed a vade mecum that was in constant use throughout
Braga's long career as a researcher, writer and public speaker.
Braga's focus was primarily (but not exclusively) biographical, and it is here that his 'A to Z' is at its
strongest. The notes on early Portuguese involved in Far Eastern affairs are of particular value. His
general approach to a subject was to give a thumbnail sketch of a career, often noting any relevance to
Macau, and adding detailed bibliographical information for any relevant publications.
The 'A to Z' was compiled over a period of some forty years, appearing to have commenced in the early
1930s. Braga seems to have added few entries to the 'A to Z' during war years, particularly 1942-1945.
He set to work again vigorously after World War II, and the files grew to some 8000 pages, greatly
augmented during a visit to Lisbon in 1952. Occasional additions were made while Braga was working
in the National Library of Australia, particularly from 1968 to1970. At that time he also re-read and
added annotations to earlier entries.
Most entries are in English. The usual length is a single quarto page, neatly written in Braga's miniscule
handwriting, but some are much longer. Other entries in the 'A to Z' are less comprehensive, with
some notes comprising a single bibliographical citation. The entries are arranged alphabetically by
topic, as kept by Braga. The folder titles are based on the first and last entries in each folder.

Subseries 7.3 Special File
The 'Special File' sequence comprises several files of research notes probably separated out from
Braga's 'A to Z' due to their size. This material is undated.
The Macau files contain notes on the history of Macau, together with a lengthy article on many aspects
of Macau's geographical situation, population, economy, government and religion. The newspaper files
feature a detailed review of the Macau press from the early 19th century until the early 20th century,
as well as notes on newspapers in Hong Kong, Portugal and elsewhere. The remaining files relate to
Malacca, Hong Kong and the artist George Chinnery, the latter possibly dating from Braga's work in
assisting with research for an exhibition of Chinnery's paintings in Hong Kong (date unknown).

Series 8 World War II, 1926-1948, c.1970
During World War II, Macau occupied a unique position as the only neutral port in the region. Thousands of
refugees fled to Macau during this time. Braga assembled a comprehensive record of the period, including
correspondence, notes, notebooks, manuscript and typescripts drafts of writings, reports, minutes,
memoranda, maps, ephemera, newspapers and other printed material. This material provides a record of the
situation, particularly in Macau and Hong Kong, including the lead-up to World War II, the operations of allied
service agencies, the evacuation of refugees, the impact of the war on daily life in Macau, the treatment of
military prisoners and civilian internees, and plans for post-war rehabilitation and recovery in Hong Kong.
Among the correspondents are A. el Arculli, Pedro Correia de Barros, Cesar Pereira Batista, A.M. Braga, Carol
Braga, James Braga, J.P. Braga, Noel Braga, Olive Braga, L.R. Brown, Leo d'Almada e Castro, S.N. Chau, E.

Rodrigues de Oliveira, W. O'Neill, John Pownall Reeves, Shozo Saito, En Sai Tai, H.A. Wittenbach and Harry
Wong.
This series has been arranged into three subseries, beginning with papers relating to World War II, then
issues of The Clarion newspaper, followed by notebooks of J.C. Britto. Further papers relating to World War II
are found in Series 2, 5, 7 and 18.
Note that Folders 27-29 of Subseries 8.1 are not available for research until 2017.
[30 folders + 5 notebooks]
Subseries 8.1 General papers relating to World War II, 1926-1948, c.1970
Including correspondence, postcards, telegrams, notes, manuscript and typescripts drafts of broadcast
scripts and news summaries, reports, minutes, memoranda, photographic material, newsletters,
newspapers, press releases, maps, invitations, ration cards and other ephemera. This material documents
events leading up to World War II, the impact of the war on daily life in Macau and Macau's administration,
activities of allied secret service agents in Macau, the evacuation of refugees to Macau and Braga's activities
during this period as a prominent member of Macau's Portuguese and English-speaking communities.
As well as writing news reports for Reuters and the Associated Press during this period, Braga gave a series
of weekly radio broadcasts from June 1941 to December 1942 via the Macao Radio Club's station CR-8-AA.
Scripts of these broadcasts cover such topics as current events, book reviews and matters of historical
interest.
Correspondence relates to arrangements for various Braga family members to evacuate to Macau, and
reveals the hardships of life in Hong Kong's Stanley Internment Camp, where Braga's sister Maude and her
husband Eric Franks were interned. Other correspondence documents Braga's involvement with various
groups concerned with the plight of refugees in Macau, including the activities of the Tsin Shan Refugee
Relief Association (later the Macao Refugee Relief Committee).
Later papers relate to the post-war period in Macau and Hong Kong, including several files relating to
Braga's membership of a committee led by the British Consul John Pownall Reeves, which was established in
1944 with the aim of developing a detailed plan for the post-war rehabilitation of Hong Kong. Looking at
aspects of employment, education, rations and the provision of basic services, the group prepared a report
'A cursory study of a proposed scheme whereby it is thought assistance might be rendered to the British
Authorities in the Rehabilitation of Hong Kong', however the group's plan was not implemented.
Among the correspondents are A. el Arculli, Pedro Correia de Barros, Cesar Pereira Batista, A.M. Braga, Carol
Braga, James Braga, J.P. Braga, Noel Braga, Olive Braga, L.R. Brown, Leo d'Almada e Castro, S.N. Chau, E.

Further radio scripts and articles written by Braga and others regarding life in Macau during World War II
are found in Subseries 5.2. Notes on significant events in the Far East during World War II are included in
Braga's historical chronologies in Subseries 7.4. Other historic postcards are located in Series 18, and further
family correspondence is found in Series 2.

Series 10 National Library of Australia, c.1966-1972
In 1966 Braga sold his considerable collection of manuscripts, pictures, newspapers, serials, periodicals,
monographs and ephemera to the National Library of Australia. The Braga Collection was delivered to
the National Library in several instalments from 1966 to 1967, and was distributed across the various
collection areas, largely according to format. Braga was employed by the National Library as a
consultant to work on his collection from December 1968 until January 1972.
This series includes some documentation of the material that the National Library acquired from Braga,
particularly numerous lists of works in the Braga Collection. There are also several sequences of
catalogue cards, some in Braga's hand. Most of the catalogue cards appear to document works offered
by Braga to the National Library. Other catalogue cards contain citations for various works, possibly
relating to Braga's historical interests and bibliographies.
During his time at the National Library, Braga was involved with various Library activities such as
advising on new acquisitions and assisting with exhibitions of material from the Braga Collection. He
also participated in several seminars and conferences, and this series includes the text of Braga's 'Talk to
the Institute of Cartographers, Canberra. 6 May 1971' and 'Why Macao?', together with two papers
that he delivered at the 28th International Congress of Orientalists in 1971, 'Father Thomas Pereira, SJ,
a hero of the Christian Missions in China' and 'Asia Extrema by Father Antonio de Gouveia, SJ'.
There is correspondence, notes, notebooks, memoranda, typescript drafts of addresses and other
writings, financial documents, a photograph, newspaper cuttings, printed material, ephemera and
catalogue cards. Among the correspondents are Michael Cooper, J.S. Gregory, Jeffrey Grossman, K.T.
Kelly, Marion Linley, Liu Ts'un-yan, Colin Mackerras, Laurence A. Noonan, Paul Rule, Glen Sanders,
Harold White and Max Wood.
Further correspondence relating to Braga's time at the National Library is found in Subseries 3.3, 3.9 and
4.4. Catalogues of the Braga Collection also feature in Subseries 11.3.

Series 11 Bibliographies, c.1930s-1969
Braga was an avid bibliographer, compiling or collecting lists of works that supported his historical
research and other areas of interest. This series includes manuscript and typescript notes, bibliographies
and other writings, together with some related correspondence and printed material. The material is
organised into three subseries: bibliographies that Braga collected; bibliographies that he compiled; and
catalogues of his collection of books, manuscripts and other works, which formed the Braga Collection
acquired by the National Library of Australia in 1966.
The main correspondent is Geoffrey W. Bonsall, Hong Kong University's Deputy Librarian, who provided
Braga with information on works of interest, and collaborated with him on a bibliography of the history
of medicine in Hong Kong. Two other major bibliographical works by Braga are represented - his
bibliography of resources relating to the history of Macau, and the bibliographies that he prepared for
the Hong Kong Government's annual reports.
Bibliographies collected by Braga relate to various topics of interest, including Hong Kong, Portuguese
journals and China. Braga drew on these and his own bibliographies when compiling his extensive
research notes in Series 7.
In addition to the bibliographies featured here, there are several bibliographies compiled by Braga that
have been catalogued separately to the Braga Papers (MS 4466 for example).

Subseries 11.1 Bibliographies collected by Braga, c.1940s-1960s
Comprising manuscript, typescript and roneoed typescript notes and lists, this small subseries features
several bibliographies collected by Braga. These bibliographies primarily relate to Hong Kong,
Portuguese journals and China. In particular, Henri Cordier's Bibliotheca sinica: Dictionnaire
bibliographique des ouvrages relatifs à l'Empire chinois appears to have been heavily used by Braga in
compiling his 'A to Z' research notes (Subseries 7.2), as these notes include frequent references to
Cordier numbers.

Subseries 11.2 Bibliographies compiled by Braga, c.1930s-1969
Manuscript and typescript notes, bibliographic citations and drafts of writings, together with some
correspondence, printed material and related papers, primarily comprising working papers for three of
Braga's major bibliographical projects.
From the early 1930s, Braga began compiling his extensive 'Bibliography of Macau', which was never
published. In the early 1960s, Braga worked with Geoffrey W. Bonsall, Deputy Librarian of the Hong
Kong University Library, to prepare 'A contribution to the bibliography of medicine in Hong Kong' ;
although there is correspondence with Bonsall and the Hong Kong University Press, it is unclear
whether this work was ever published. Sometime after his move to Hong Kong in 1946, Braga began
compiling the bibliography for the Hong Kong Government's Hong Kong Annual Report; the 1962 and
1964 bibliographies are particularly well-represented.

Subseries 11.3 Catalogues of the Braga Collection, c.1930s-1965
Manuscript, typescript and photocopied typescript catalogues prepared by Braga for his extensive
collection of books, manuscripts and other works. Beginning in the early 1930s, Braga made note of
selected works that he had acquired as well as desiderata. From the 1960s, the catalogue became
more comprehensive as Braga contemplated selling his collection to one of several interested
institutions. In 1966, Braga sold the collection to the National Library of Australia, and the final
catalogues in this subseries appear to have been used by staff involved in accessioning the material
upon its receipt by the Library.
Further catalogues of the Braga Collection feature in Series 10.

Series 12 Transcriptions, 1930-1971
Manuscript, typescript, photocopy, microfilm and photographic copies of historical documents,
primarily relating to the history of the Portuguese in Asia. Much of Braga's historical research involved
obtaining, transcribing and translating copies of historical documents from libraries and archives,
particularly Portuguese institutions such as the Biblioteca da Ajuda (Ajuda Library), the Sociedade de
Geografia de Lisboa (Lisbon Geographic Society), the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Overseas Historical
Archive) and the Arquivo Naçional da Torre do Tombo (Portuguese National Archives).
These letters, reports and other documents were mainly written by government officials and
missionaries, and primarily originated from Portuguese colonies such as Macau, Goa and Malacca, as
well as China. Most of the documents are in Portuguese, and date from the 16th to the 20th centuries,
although for many the date that they were transcribed by Braga is unknown.
The series has been arranged into three subseries: manuscript and typescript transcriptions of historical
documents; microfilm and photographic copies of historical documents; and manuscript and typescript
transcriptions of the 'Ásia Extrema' codex.
Further papers relating to transcriptions, including correspondence relating to the process of locating,
transcribing and translating these documents, is found throughout the collection, particularly Series 3,
5, 6, 7 and 16.

other Portuguese libraries and archives.
The transcribed documents date from the 16th century to the 20th century, and include letters and
reports from government agencies in the Portuguese colonies, Jesuit missionaries working in China and
Japan, and articles from various newspapers in Macau, Goa, Hong Kong, China, the United States of
America and the Philippines. An item list of selected transcriptions in this subseries has been prepared
by Stuart Braga (Appendix C).

Subseries 12.3 Ásia Extrema, c.1950s-1971
'Ásia Extrema' (Farthest Asia) by Bishop Antόnio de Gouveia is a codex from the 'Jesuítas na Ásia'
collection held in the Biblioteca da Ajuda (Lisbon). Braga considered it to be "...one of the most
important of the documents in the collection". He noted that "...it is a fine history of China, rich with
detail of what was happening in China during the last few years of the Ming Dynasty, based on reports
by Jesuit priests."
This subseries comprises typescript transcriptions of the text of 'Ásia Extrema' in Portuguese (Folders
1-16) and the manuscript of Braga’s translation of the text into English (Folders 17-24). Much of the
manuscript of Braga’s translation is in the form of photocopies; the location of the original manuscript
from which the photocopies were made is unknown. Braga's manuscript was not published.
Related correspondence is found throughout the Braga Papers, particularly exchanges with L.
Carrington Goodrich and António da Silva Rego (Subseries 3.3 and 3.9). Notes and working papers used
by Braga in his translation of the text are found in the 'Jesuítas na Ásia' papers in Subseries 6.2.

Series 13 J.P. Braga, 1887-1944
José Pedro Braga, father of J.M. Braga, was born in Hong Kong on 3 August 1871, youngest son of Vicente
Emilio and Carolina Maria Braga. Vicente Braga moved to Japan to work as the Chief Accountant at the
Imperial Mint, Osaka, when J.P. Braga was an infant. J.P. Braga was brought up in the household of his
maternal grandfather, Delfino Noronha.
J.P. Braga attended St Joseph’s College in Hong Kong and St Xavier’s College and Roberts College in Calcutta,
where he received the College’s Gold Medal in 1889. J.P. Braga returned to Hong Kong, where he worked at
his grandfather's printing business, Noronha & Co, until 1900. During this time he became active in public
affairs and began his writing career. In 1895, his book The rights of aliens in Hongkong was published. On 5
May 1895 he married Olive Pauline Pollard, who was born in 1870 in Launceston, Tasmania, and had been a
member of the Pollard Liliputian Opera Company. They had 13 children.
J.P. Braga was manager of the Hongkong Daily Telegraph from 1902 to 1910. He became the Hong Kong
agent of Reuter's news agency from 1906 to 1931. From 1910 he ran his own printing business, J.P. Braga &
Co, becoming a leader of the Portuguese community in Hong Kong. He was President of Club Lusitano and
Patron of the Portuguese Company of the Hong Kong Volunteers. He was was appointed Comendador da
Ordem de Cristo (Commander of the Order of Christ) in recognition of his work on the behalf of the Macau
government in resolving a border dispute with China. From 1929 to 1937 J.P. Braga served as the first
Portuguese member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, and in 1935 he was appointed Officer of the Order
of the British Empire. In 1941, his book Portuguese pioneering: a hundred years of Hong Kong was published
as part of the colony's centenary commemorations. According to Stuart Braga, "This book was the
culmination of what had been a 50 year struggle to assert for his community equality of rights and equality of
opportunity in a social, commercial and legal environment not always conducive to it."
In December 1941, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese, and in June 1942 J.P. Braga sought refuge in
Macau, living with J.M. Braga until his death on 12 February 1944.
This series includes correspondence, draft material, notebooks, memoranda, legal documents printed
material, certificates and other papers. There are three subseries: a sequence of personal documents and
papers, followed by several issues of J.P. Braga's journal Odds and Ends, and finishing with draft material for
his book The Portuguese in Hongkong and China (1944).
Further correspondence and other papers relating to J.P. Braga are included in Series 2, 4 and 8. Articles
relating to J.P. Braga's public life feature in the newspaper cuttings albums in Subseries 14.1.
[11 folders]
Subseries 13.1 Personal papers, 1887-1944
Chiefly personal correspondence and documents relating to various appointments and honours,
including J.P. Braga's appointment to the Hong Kong Legislative Council in 1929, and his receipt of the
Order of the British Empire in 1935. There are business papers, primarily relating to a proposed
housing scheme in Kowloon in the 1920s. The printed material includes an address delivered by J.P.
Braga at St Joseph's College Golden Jubilee Celebrations in 1926, and other writings by him including

Subseries 13.3 The Portuguese in Hong Kong and China (1944), c.1930s-1940s
Following his arrival in Macau as a refugee from Hong Kong in 1942, J.P. Braga began writing a history
of the Portuguese in Hong Kong and China, with encouragement and assistance from his son J.M.
Braga. When J.P. Braga died on 12 February 1944, 12 of the proposed 26 chapters had been
completed. J.M. Braga edited these chapters, which he then privately published as The Portuguese in
Hongkong and China: their beginning, settlement and progress during one hundred years (1944).
This subseries comprises draft and research material for the book, including incomplete chapters that
were not published in the 1944 edition. There are chapter outlines, manuscript drafts, heavily
annotated typescript drafts, notes and research material, including a set of notebooks compiled by J.M.
Braga on various topics.
Copies of the 1944 edition are held in the National Library's print collection (BRA 2831, BRA 2832, BRA
2833 and BRA 3064), together with a 1998 reprint (YYq 951.26 B813).

Series 14 Newspaper cuttings, 1881-1973 (bulk 1920-1971)
This series comprises newspaper cuttings albums and files of loose cuttings. This material has been
arranged into nine subseries, beginning with the albums (14.1), followed by files of loose cuttings
arranged according the region to which they primarily relate (14.2-14.8), finishing with loose cuttings
relating to various topics (14.9).
Most of the albums were compiled by Braga from the 1920s until the 1940s, and these principally
concern social, economic and political issues relating to Hong Kong and Macau, but topics such as other
Portuguese colonies, China, general history and literature are also covered. One album is largely
devoted to reporting on the public life of Braga's father, J.P. Braga. Articles by Braga and his father
feature in the albums.
The loose cuttings cover the regions of Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Portugal and
Portuguese colonies, including social, economic and political issues, history, geography, World War II
and other matters. Many of the files of loose cuttings were added to by Braga during his time at the
National Library from 1968-1972.
As well as newspaper cuttings, this series also includes some typescript transcripts of articles, together
with some ephemera.
Various newspapers are represented in the cuttings, including the South China Morning Post, the China
Mail, A voz de Macau, Noticias de Macau, the Hongkong Telegraph, the Hongkong Tiger Standard,
the Hong Kong American, The Literary Digest, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Age and The Canberra
Times.
Further newspapers and newspaper cuttings feature throughout the collection, particularly Series 15.
Notes on newspapers in Macau, Hong Kong, Portugal and elsewhere are included in Braga's 'Special File'
(Subseries 7.3).

Braga was a bibliophile who amassed a large collection of books and other items over a lifetime of

This series primarily comprises booklists and catalogues produced by booksellers, auction houses,
libraries and publishers, primarily in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and the United States, as
well as Shanghai, Spain, Paris, Germany and the Netherlands. These include Livraria Sá da Costa, Livraria

Series 17 Photographs, c.1920s-1960s
This series includes photographs, negatives, several newspaper cuttings and a letter from Braga to
Colonel Basil, 1939, with accompanying negatives of a photograph of George Chinnery's tomb in Macau.
Most of the photographs were originally loose, although there is a commemorative album, presented to
Braga as a benefactor of the Yuet Wah Salesian College in Macau (1950). Few of the items are dated,
and only some are annotated with captions.
The photographs document a range of people, places and occasions. There are many family
photographs, including portraits, snapshots and passport photographs, of Braga, his mother Olive Braga
and his siblings, his wife Augusta Braga and their children. Scenes of daily life in Macau and Hong Kong
feature, including architectural and geographical points of interest, social events such as weddings and
birthdays, sporting events such as swimming carnivals, cricket matches, bowling tournaments and
basketball games, and fishing and other activities on the harbour. There are photographs of official
events, including sequences documenting the arrival of Tamagnini Barbosa in Macau (1926) and a visit
by Sir Robert Brown Black (c.1960s). Business events and club activities also feature, for example a party
of the Kowloon Tong Garden City Association and meetings of the Hong Kong Rotary Club and the Hong
Kong International Women's Club. There are some photographs from travels abroad, including trips to
Australia and the United Kingdom.
An item list of photographs in this series has been prepared separately to this finding aid. This item list is
available in the Pictures & Manuscripts Reading Room and a copy can be supplied upon request.
Further photographic material features throughout the collection, particularly Series 2, 4, 5 and 20.

This series features a variety of objects, including lapel badges and pins, letter openers, marble tile
samples, printing blocks and other items.
A highlight is a lapel badge bearing the inscription 'HBM Consulate, Macao'. During World War II, Braga
worked closely with the British Consul, John Pownall Reeves. According to Stuart Braga, "After the influx
into Macau of tens of thousands of refugees early in 1942, there was massive unemployment and
hardship. The British government paid a small subsidy to British subjects who narrowly avoided
starvation. Portuguese nationals were not so fortunate. To assist them, the British Vice Consul
employed some young Portuguese men as guards for the consulate. This was their badge of office."
The printing blocks generally feature images of buildings, people and a 'Noticias de Macau' banner.
There are also two bookplate stamps, for Braga and C.R. Boxer. Bookplates printed with these stamps
are included in Subseries 3.2.
