Sometimes, archive research is necessary to obtain a record that has not been digitized or request a clearer copy of a record found online or on microfilm. This can be done either through letter correspondence, email (sometimes), or researching in person. Please read [[Portugal Church Directories]] for contact information for dioceses and parishes. | Sometimes, archive research is necessary to obtain a record that has not been digitized or request a clearer copy of a record found online or on microfilm.

== Inventories and Guides == | |||
Most archives have publications that describe their collections and how to use them. Some are online. Others are in print. If possible, study these guides before you visit or use the records so you can use your time more effectively. | Most archives have publications that describe their collections and how to use them.
