The FUTURE MEMORY | TOYS & MODELS website is a documental work edited by PAULO SANTOS, started in February 2018. For reasons of force majeure, the upload of contents started later, in April 2020. It essentially contains images and brief descriptions of toys and models, mostly representing vehicles in 1:64 or 1:43 scales, from a private collection. The FUTURE MEMORY | TOYS & MODELS website replaces the MY POLIGURI COLLECTION (2012–2018) and takes over some of its content, revised and updated. The main language is English (en-US), the secondary language is Portuguese (pt-PT, Acordo Ortográfico de 1945).

As an example, this year I asked Carris and CaetanoBus to help me clarify two questions posed by readers – and I was shocked by the rudeness of their reactions towards me. Something I won't forget.
