1. ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS BY SUBJECT OR PROVINCE

A. Access to selected statistical information is provided by Ann Hartness through the use of her Subject Guide to Statistics in the Presidential Reports of the Brazilian Provinces 1830-1889. Austin, TX: Institute of Latin American Studies, University of Texas at Austin, 1977. This Guide provides subject access to over 10,000 statistical references in these annual Provincial reports. First, select a subject. Second, you are given a choice of selecting within each Province a specific page/table or an entire document. Definitions to the Guide are given below in Section Four. Please note that only selected data has been indexed. If the page or table is not highlighted in the Guide, a link has not been created yet between the Guide and the specified page.

B. A.Province Access Access by Province will be available later in 1997.

2. MOVING FROM IMAGE TO IMAGE

Once you have chosen an image to view, you will note that you have three choices given at the top and bottom of every image. These choices are:
"Next page"
"Previous page"
"View 300 TIFF" (This will automatically open your TIFF viewer when you find the GIF 100-dpi image is not legible in your Web Browser.)
You also can utilize all Web Browser commands using this database.

3. UNAVAILABLE DOCUMENTS

The quality of some the microfilm images was so poor that they could not be scanned. Further, documents within these sets that were not available for filming are not included in this database either. You may need to refer to microfilm or paper copies of the Provincial Reports at times.
