Decreto-Lei nº 102/2015, de 5 de junho: Transferência do Sistema de Informação para o Património, SIPA. (Decree-Law no. 102/2015 of 5 June: Transfer of the Heritage Information System, SIPA.

This Decree-Law makes the second amendment to Decree-Law no. 115/2012, amended by Decree-Law no. 205/2012, which approves the organisational structure of the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC), and the first amendment to Decree-Law no. 175/2012, which approves the organisational structure of the Institute for Housing and Urban Rehabilitation, I. P. (IHRU, I. P.). (IHRU, I. P.), transferring the attributions and competences relating to the Heritage Information System (SIPA) from IHRU, I. P., to the DGPC.

The implementation of this transfer implies the clear definition of mission objectives and the reorganisation of services, with the allocation of infrastructures and resources where they are indispensable, including the archives and collections, made up of the documentary collections generated by the now defunct Directorate-General for National Buildings and Monuments and its predecessors, as well as the personal archives and collections of creators and agents of Portuguese architectural, urban and landscape heritage from the 20th and 21st centuries, databases with in-depth technical and scientific information on a universe of more than 30,000 buildings, urban complexes, sites and cultural landscapes, including all classified heritage.

The integration of the SIPA computer systems, equipment and facilities at the Sacavém Fort, as well as the human resources assigned to it, into the DGPC aims to improve the management of this collection of documents and information, which in turn contributes to the safeguarding of heritage.
