Summary
This article aims at assessing the historical potential of a large set of correspondence between Frederico Augusto Oom (1830–1890), the first director of the Lisbon Astronomical Observatory (OAL, see Fig. 1 and 2), and the instrument maker, Repsold,1 responsible for the construction of the Observatory’s main instruments. Some of this correspondence, located at the Observatory itself, was already well known and a large part of it was retrieved from the Hamburg State Archive thanks to a SIS Grant.
