The preservation and study of scientific heritage involves many challenges. Marta C. Lourenço  from the University of Lisbon has been addressing these challenges in close collaboration with partners from Europe and Brazil. In this paper she describes recent work on this front, with a focus on material culture training and supporting other institutions in the preservation of their scientific heritage. She also discusses the „material turn‟ in the history of science, which has been an inspiration for Lisbon.
