Help to collect stories about the stars

27 February 2010

The project "The Sky of our grand parents" involves the general public, in particular ancient people and rural and isolated populations, in collecting traditional stories in order to discover old myths and ancient knowledge of astronomy before they become lost.

The Science Museum of the University of Coimbra is looking for partners who are willing to collect texts and stories all over the world and make them available to the public.

Contributions in Portuguese or English will be included in this website, and a link to websites with contributions in other languages will be included as well.
