The Centre for the Study of Culture in Portugal at the University of Porto (CECUP) was established in the Organic Regulations of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto (FLUP) in 2017, following the transfer of Vasco Graça Moura's documentary collection to the Faculty on a loan basis.

Thus, in homage to the author of this founding legacy and its original context, the Executive Board of the FLUP decided to give the name ‘Casa dos Livros’ to this cultural centre, recovering and re-signifying the name that Vasco Graça Moura had given to his work and creative space on the rural property Eira do Catavento (municipality of Almeirim).
