摘要：This paper discusses the Portuguese immigration to Belém, capital of Pará, in the period of the rubber economy. The theme is analysed from the Consular Habilitations; we try to discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of this art of source for the study of Portuguese immigration, especially regarding numbers and profiles. It’s also intended to cross-analyse the Consular Habilitations with other sources to understand the dynamics and the paths of individuals and families that arrived in the Amazon lands.
