Digital Cities
The onset of digital archaeology and its subsequent remarkable development has had a crucial impact on the study of cultural heritage. Presently, researchers are able to manipulate and reinvent digital and historical data; the study of the city stands out in this context. Cities are microcosms, often reflecting the changing structure of societies over time. A vast array of digital tools (laser scanning, augmented reality, remote sensing, and beyond) can process, test, and display archaeological data, architectural remains, and built heritage on a scale previously unattainable. The digitization of historical research is manipulating and reinventing the ways in which we examine historical evid...
Women, Crime, and Forgiveness in Early Modern Portugal
Looking at the experiences of women in early modern Portugal in the context of crime and forgiveness, this study demonstrates the extent to which judicial and quasi-judicial records can be used to examine the implications of crime in women’s lives, whether as victims or culprits. The foundational basis for this study is two sets of manuscript sources that highlight two distinct yet connected experiences of women as participants in the criminal process. One consists of a collection of archival documents from the first half of the seventeenth century, a corpus called 'querelas,' in which formal accusations of criminal acts were registered. This is a rich source of information not only about ...
Conflicts and Conspiracies
A study of Brazil during a critical formative period which illuminates the causes of her special historical development within Latin America. Professor Maxwell analyzes the shifting relationships between Portugal, England and Brazil during the second half of the 18th Century. Through his study, Professor Maxwell is concerned with the social, economic and political significance of the events he describes. An important part of this work is a study of the Minas Conspiracy of 1788-89.

Pedro Gomes Simões
Esta obra é resultado de um trabalho de investigação desenvolvido a partir da consulta ao Arquivo Paroquial da Igreja de São Pedro de Miragaia. O título de “homem de negócios” vai ao encontro do auto-retrato traçado por Pedro Gomes Simões, após o regresso à Metrópole. Foi durante o Consulado Pombalino que as suas actividades, económica e financeira, atingiram o seu auge. É mais um caso típico referenciado na emigração para o Brasil no século dezoito. Oriundo de Barcelos, de família com algumas posses, Pedro Gomes Simões emigrou ainda adolescente, levando na bagagem conhecimentos e preparação para poder singrar no comércio. Em Minas Gerais (particularmente no Cerro Frio) e no Rio de Janeiro, dedicou-se à exploração do ouro e diamantes e à actividade comercial.
