Worried about the fate of his books, collections of miscellaneous items and periodicals, he confessed towards the end of his life in the pages of O Conimbricense that he wished they would one day be brought together in the Coimbra University Library or the National Library, if an auction were not to ‘disperse the fruit of so much labour’. His fears came true, and Henrique de Campos Ferreira Lima regretted this in the brief words with which he opens the Catálogo da Importante Livraria que pertenceu aos falecidos Jornalista Joaquim Martins de Carvalho e General Francisco Augusto Martins de Carvalho, com um prefácio de Henrique de Campos Ferreira Lima que há-de ser vendida em leilão no dia 29 de Fevereiro e seguintes de 1923 na Rua Corpo de Deus, 47, Coimbra , [Catalogue of the important bookshop that belonged to the late journalist Joaquim Martins de Carvalho and General Francisco Augusto Martins de Carvalho, with a preface of Henrique de Campos Ferreira Lima, which will be sold at auction on 29 February 1923 at Rua Corpo de Deus, 47, Coimbra] Coimbra, Imprensa da Universidade, 1923 (a valuable set of works not sold at this auction would be incorporated by family decision into the João Paulo II University Library). In addition to his vast collaboration with the press, which reveals the extent of his knowledge and historiographical thoroughness, Joaquim Martins de Carvalho published two works of great interest to our knowledge of the Portuguese 19 th century: Apontamentos para a História Contemporânea [Notes for Contemporary History] , Coimbra, Imprensa da Universidade, 1868 – the reading of which should be complemented with that of ‘Apontamentos para a História Contemporânea’ [Notes for Contemporary History] , published by Manuel Lopes de Almeida in Arquivo Coimbrão [Coimbra archives] (1968), and Os Assassinos da Beira – Novos Apontamentos para a História Contemporânea [The Beira assassins- new notes on contemporary History] , Coimbra, Imprensa da Universidade, 1890.
