Research assistance is a flexible and tailor-made service to support you in developing your research project. I offer a range of services, from simple document supply to more extensive research support.
Document supply
This service is suitable for researchers who wish to access a high-quality digitalised version of a specific document that is available in a library or archive in the Lisbon metropolitan area. The service involves:
- travel to/from the archive or library where the document is housed;
- sourcing of the document;
- high-quality digital reproduction of the document, with full source reference noted;
- electronic document delivery to your email address.
Research assistance
A more extensive research assistance service is also available on request. For example, this service may include:
- library, database, and archive searches by topic or author and creation of reading lists;
- Searches to locate specific documents or source materials;
- data collection and collation;
- production of summaries in English or Portuguese, from documents originally produced in either of those languages;
- transcription of handwritten material in English or Portuguese;
- interviews and/or transcription of interviews or sound recordings;
- travel to libraries and archives beyond the Lisbon metropolitan area.
