The Portuguese {{lang|pt|Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino} (Overseas Historical Arquive) (est. 1931) preserves archives related to the Portuguese Empire. It is located in the Palácio da Ega at Alcântara, Lisbon. The Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical of the governmental Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education administers the archives. Prior to 1973, the Overseas Ministry oversaw it.[1]
Among its holdings are records created in 15th-20th century related to colonial Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea, India, Macau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor, Uruguay, and other locales.[2] As of 1970 the materials were grouped as pre-1833, mostly from the Arquivo do Conselho Ultramarino (Overseas Council Archive) and post-1833, from the Arquivo do Ministério das Colónias (Ministry of the Colonies Archive).[3]
Directors have included Alberto Iria (circa 1970).[3]
