Cúria Diocesana de Nova Iguaçu

Description:
The Archive of the Diocesan Curia of Nova Iguaçu (ACDNI) is the historic center of the progressive Catholic Church in Brazil throughout the military dictatorship. Throughout its lifetime, the archive has collected resources vital to the study of human rights, social movements, resistance to authoritarianism, and liberation theology. The collection is comprised of 475 linear feet (145 linear meters) of printed materials dating from 1948 to 2015. Most notably, the collection includes the institutional documentation of the Diocese as well as materials produced and received by Dom Adriano Mandarino Hypólito, the third bishop of Nova Iguaçu and one of the Church’s leaders in the struggle against the military dictatorship.

Ibicaba Farm Records

Description:
This collection of ledgers and business records from the Ibicaba Farm documents the economic system of agricultural labor in Brazil that ultimately consolidated mass immigration. Starting in the 1840s, plantations in southwestern Brazil experiment with European immigrant labor co-existing with the enslaved black population. The Ibicaba Farm was a pioneer in such process and this collection tracks the development of this system. The digitized ledgers provide access to data relevant to labor history; economics of contractual design; sociology of immigration; political history of labor and immigration to Brazil; and cultural life in a plantation-based society following the transition from slavery. The content revolves around the farm’s administration, daily life, and economic production. The accounting books, for instance, include information about laborers’ daily activities, productivity under various contracts, workers’ remunerations, and livelihoods. Such content will present a part of history of both Brazilians and immigrant workers of various nationalities. This is especially valuable to any descendants of the farm workers who seek to explore their ancestry.

Óbidos Court Records 1900-1988

Description:
The Universidade Federal do Oeste do Para (UFOPA) in Brazil has digitized the archive of the Court of Justice located in the city of Óbidos, Brazil in the Lower Amazon region. A particular point of cultural interest in this collection is the series of documentation on trials regarding land disputes. This part of the collection reflects the support of local people for creating protected areas including indigenous lands, territories of descendants of African slaves, and ecological conservation units for people of historical traditions. This content can help reconstitute chains of ownership of lands to better identify instances of land grabbing. These court records also document the daily lives of Amazonian civilians in a time of restricted individual rights as well as the modernization of Amazonia by authoritarian projects.
