One of the INCM's most important missions is to contribute to ensuring that works that are fundamental to Portuguese and universal culture are always available to the public, thereby preserving, publicising and promoting the bibliographic heritage of the Portuguese language.
A search can be performed of INCM Own Publications at the Camões Digital Library, a repository of culture in the Portuguese language whose main criteria is the publication of complete works to be read for free, without registering or subscribing being required.
In the Camões Digital Library can be found public domain authors and editions, as well as current editions, protected by related rights (fixation of texts, critical notes, prefaces and postfaces, etc.), works protected by copyright and those by living authors. In consequence, each published edition is assigned one of several levels of access (read only, read and print, or read, print and copy), resulting from the expression of a joint desire by the Camões Institute, IP, and the INCM as the publisher.
The usage licence, which is displayed before some of the titles can be downloaded, is used to state that a certain edition belongs to a publishing house. This criteria shall always be applied and the editions will always be identified, thereby avoiding unnecessary risks relating to the quality and authenticity of the editions.
