Examples of this continued intervention were the price regulatory warehouses for essential goods, institutions designed with the dual purpose of facilitating access to basic foodstuffs for the most disadvantaged classes and regulating the prices of these products, directly competing with retail trade. This article analyzes the creation and expansion of these warehouses in the city of Lisbon between 1918, the year when the first establishments were set up under the management of the Obra de Assistência 5 de Dezembro, and 1925, when the government decided their progressive transformation into consumer cooperatives.</p> Inês José Copyright (c) 2025 Inês José https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-02-28 2025-02-28 23 1 17 10.48751/CAM-2025-23386 https://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/397 <p>The end of the 19th century was marked by the creation of social support to face the deterioration of living conditions in urban environments, from the so-called soup kitchens and charity soups, to the economical kitchens, which sold meals at low prices. The Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa was at the forefront of assisting the needy population of the capital, by providing food in the poorest neighbourhoods. From the 1920s onwards, the Misericórdia de Lisboa ended up centralizing most of these offerings, preserving in the Museu de São Roque a small sample of the material culture used in this context. This study aims to reveal part of this collection, made up of pieces produced in national fabrics, and relate it to the existing documentation at Santa Casa da Misericórdia on economic kitchens. From this analysis we hope to contribute and encourage the development of studies around material culture and charity in the 20th century.</p> Gonçalo Amaro João Miguel Simões Maria João Ferreira Copyright (c) 2025 Gonçalo Amaro, João Miguel Simões, Maria João Ferreira 2025-04-18 2025-04-18 23 1 20 10.48751/CAM-2025-23397 https://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/396 Luís Costa e Sousa Copyright (c) 2025 Luís Costa e Sousa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-04-14 2025-04-14 23 1 3 10.48751/CAM-2025-23396
