Beyond Center-South: for a history of colonial population at the extremes of Portuguese domination in America (integrated project)

Abstract The project regarding this research note relates in its objectives the interests of several researchers who constitute the “Demography & History” Research Group, linked to several research centers and postgraduate programs. To sum up, our broader intention is to lay the groundwork for the discussion of the demographic regimes of the Brazilian population in the past. To that end, we are focused on “saving” the population memory contained in parochial records from selected parishes.
