Teresa; Gouveia, António Carmo Abstract: General Theory of Systems, sensu strictu, aims to derive the general definition of “system” as a complex of components in mutual interaction with each other and with the surrounding environment. A theory to be applied to the Botanic Garden of the University of Coimbra, understood as a Complex Information System: a whole with several types of units or information systems, such as a living plant collection, library, museum, archive and herbarium. Júlio Henriques (director between 1873-1918) participated in networks of scientific knowledge and his role is crucial to understand the growth and complexification of the Information System Botanic Garden UC. An example on a new species discovery – Pandanus thomensis Henriq. – illustrates how a systemic and holistic perspective of the information allows a comprehensive knowledge of the information in several supports and locations. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10316/41348 Title: Visconde de Vila Maior: o arquivo (s)em reserva Authors: Dias da Silva, Ana Margarida; Carmo, António Gouveia; Gonçalves, M.
