Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino

The Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (est. 1931) of Portugal preserves archives related to the Portuguese Empire. It is located in the Palácio da Ega [pt] on Calçada da Boa-Hora in the city of Lisbon, near the Rua da Junqueira [pt] in the parish of Alcântara. The Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical [pt] of the governmental Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education administers the archives. Prior to 1973, the Overseas Ministry oversaw it.[1]

Among its holdings are records created in 15th-20th century related to colonial Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea, India, Macau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor, Uruguay, and other locales.[2] As of 1970 the materials were grouped as pre-1833 (mostly from the Arquivo do Conselho Ultramarino) and post-1833 (from the Arquivo do Ministerio das Colonias).[3]

Directors have included Alberto Iria (circa 1970).[3]
