Abstract/Résumé/Resumen
This article concerns the ongoing organization of historical documents from the Arquivo Geral do Poder Judiciário do Estado do Amazonas (General Archives of the Amazonas Court of Justice). It focuses on the project titled "Historical documents of the Amazonian judiciary: collection's diagnostic of the Permanent Archives of the Amazonas State Court of Justice" (PGCT-FAPEAM), which aims to arrange all holdings, comprising 15,000 legal files. We emphasize the history of the records, the process of developing specific vocabulary, and the potential historiographical insights that may arise from future research on these records.
