Concerning the standards about copyright and collateral legislation, it is important to keep the notion that in global sense these are documents freely obtained at websites and other sources. Therefore, the authors of this website do not establish any reserve about public or any other form of availability of the documents contained herein.

Special cases, should there be any, will be subject to specific user agreements and licences.

An exception to this status is "Elucidário Madeirense". It is a gigantic compilation, the widest repository of knowledge about culture, tradition and the past of Madeira available nowadays. As a tribute to the work of its authors and so that we cannot be considered dishonest competitors by local libraries, we ask for a  small payment, to those who may want to download it. It is a symbolic sum, which we can say bluntly is well below its intrinsic and real value. Should you be interested on obtaining it, please visit de summary page.

Some of the documents are in Portuguese and will not be translated, since that would be a gigantic task. The smaller ones will be translated when that becomes possible. But those readers familiar with latin languages, most certainly will still find the present ones interesting or useful.
