Court cases abound in Lusophone Africa archives. However, despite the richness of their collections, the documents are quite often unorganised and unidentified, which makes it very difficult for the academic community to make use of them. This Research Group therefore seeks to overcome this obstacle by collaborating with local archives in identifying, preserving, organising and cataloging court case collections. In addition to the organisation of the local archives and the publication of instruments enabling the academic community to better access these sources, the project will also support research analysing such documents in order to highlight new perspectives on writing Global Legal History from the point of view of the daily normative production that took place in Portuguese colonial societies.
