Abstract

In the Ph.D. financed by FAPESP (2020/06789-9) we predicted research activities in archives aiming scientific-academic improvement and the strengthening of international cooperation with Spain and Portugal. Henceforth we propose a Research Internships Abroad (BEPE) divided into two fronts. The first one may be carried out in Spain under professor José Manuel Santos Pérez's supervision (USAL) for 6 months. The second one may be carried out in Portugal under professor Pedro Cardim's supervision (NOVA) for 6 months. The two internships are synchronized and hence we consider to be convenient to engage them in just one project. Our objectives are: i) to pursue professors Cardim and Santos Pérez's guidance; ii) to investigate documentation in the AGS, BGH, BNE, RA, RAH, AGI, AHU, ANTT, BAL, BNP, and BPE; iii) to produce an impact Ph.D. dissertation, articles, and papers; iv) to strengthen international cooperation between Finisterra_Lab (USP), USAL, NOVA, and ULisboa.
