| description | The present research focused on the 'case study' of a local root museum process: Museu – Biblioteca Condes de Castro Guimarães, the sole institution museum in Cascais for half a century. Drawing on the epistemological field of research on Socio-museology, on primary sources, secondary and complementary bibliography, we tried to comprehend how the main founders of this institution thought, perceived and established the museological function at its origins.
The research was developed in two complementary orientations: as a first step we studied the thoughts and actions of the museum curators João Couto and Branquinho da Fonseca through the content analysis methodology of their scholarly previously published texts. In parallel, we studied the history of the museum, in a diachronic perspective, starting from the 1930s until the 1980s. This allowed us to perceive that, from very early on, the social and educational functions were present and continued to be developed over the decades that followed. Those were personalities who contributed to the construction of a cultural institution, engaging in social, cultural, and educational pioneering practices to benefit the community and that we believe influenced the work of two institutions of higher magnitude and scope: Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.

Keywords - Museology, Socio-museology, Education, Local Museums, Community A presente investigação centrou-se no ‘estudo de caso’ de um processo museológico de raiz local: o Museu - Biblioteca Condes de Castro Guimarães, única instituição museal no concelho de Cascais durante meio século. Tendo como base epistemológica o campo de investigação da Sociomuseologia e partindo de fontes primárias, secundárias e de bibliografia complementar, procurámos apreender a forma como os responsáveis desta instituição pensaram, perceberam e construíram, na sua génese, a função museológica. A pesquisa orientou-se numa dupla vertente: por um lado, estudámos, mediante a metodologia de análise de conteúdo a que submetemos os textos doutrinais, o pensamento e a ação dos Conservadores João Couto e Branquinho da Fonseca; por outro, procedemos ao historial do museu, numa perspetiva diacrónica, dos anos 30 aos anos 80 do século XX, o que nos permitiu compreender que, desde muito cedo, a função social e educativa esteve presente através de uma proposta que se foi construindo ao longo das décadas. Foi nosso propósito demonstrar a relevância do contributo de ambos os conservadores para a construção de uma instituição cultural mais próxima da comunidade, destacando o pioneirismo das práticas de cariz social, cultural e educativo que, posteriormente, se reflectiu no desenvolvimento do seu trabalho em instituições de maior projeção: Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga e Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.
