I couldn't see everything, but from what I saw I found it very interesting.

The Overseas Historical Archive is a service dependent on the general directorate of books, archives and libraries, which aims to process and communicate to the public textual and image documentation relating to the Portuguese and the people with whom they interacted between the centuries, XVII and 1975. The archive was created in 1931 and was integrated into the Tropical scientific research board, the overseas historical archive was integrated into the general directorate of the book of archives and libraries, as its dependent service.

Located in a privileged area, this former palace features beautiful rooms, including the wonderful Pompeia Hall. With a unique collection of tile panels, it is a must-visit.

The archive itself is very good but having to leave the water bottle in the locker is very unpleasant and doesn't make sense because whoever goes there is aware of the precautions to be taken.

It is housed in a well-preserved palace of the Counts of Ega with a beautiful view over Lisbon and a complete overseas estate.

Spectacular space. Fantastic.

Very nice

It was excellent Valuable documents and attentive staff I was doing investigations in 1995 until 1999 I'm Brazilian and have serious visual problems I am donating the documentation In the meantime, I sent an email to find out how many millimeters the 1996 microfilms are My congratulations

(Translated by Google) Have a great search! (Original) Tenha uma ótima pesquisa!

I wish all employees at the Overseas Historical Archive, especially those in the reading room, a Happy New Year 2022, full of health, joy and many good things. It is our sincere hope that as users of the reading room, the way in which we are received and attended to with great professionalism by these employees, with all the respect and dedication they have for readers and the functions they perform, we recommend the visit to the Archive. Well done, very grateful, Vítor Fernandes and Sílvio Fernandes

Dear, I am looking for PhD guidance for a student in the Postgraduate Program in Music - Masters and Doctorate at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil. Luciano Candemil is a percussionist musician and researches percussion at Candomblé Ketu. You need to do research at the Museu Ultramarino de Portugal and with a university professor who works on this topic. Can you help with some information? Thank you for your attention. Compliments!

Archive with a fundamental collection for those who study the Portuguese Overseas Empire. Staff very helpful and always friendly. The best archive service I've been to. (it's just unpleasant, having to leave the bottle of water in the locker, since it is assumed that those who attend these consultation services know what they are doing)

What is happening to the AHU building? In the old Saldanha Palace, the stucco falls from the walls, the gardens are abandoned, dry and deserted. I passed by there today and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I came to believe that the Archive no longer worked there. Very sad!
