"Actas da Conferência Comemorativa dos 250 anos da Capitania Geral dos Açores"

In order to mark the 250th anniversary of the General Captaincy in the Azores, the Historical Institute of Terceira Island organized a commemorative conference, promoted by the Municipality of Angra do Heroísmo.

This book compiles the various communications that were made there.

The General Captaincy of the Azores (1766-1832) was a political-administrative structure of governance of the Azores, created in 1766, based in Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira Island) and which would remain for 65 years, until it was extinguished by a signed decree in Ponta Delgada by king D. Pedro IV. The creation of the General Captaincy was integrated in the so-called Pombaline reforms of the Portuguese administration.
