As someone no longer in full-time research, I wasn't sure I'd get this over the line, but here it is!
This is my modest effort to (re)write Brazil into the history of Britain's involvement with transatlantic slavery.
Too many people to thank here but you know who you are!
Boa leitura, gente.

The Ibicaba archive project team probably know him anyway, but he's called Josรฉ Eduardo Heflinger. I need to be in touch about sending him a copy of my book (he supplied some images) so can send him your article.

Probably not overly helpful as it was some time ago now, but there's a guy in Limeira, SP who had a lot of 19th century material from the surrounding area. I think a lot of it was judicial records that he'd saved from being thrown out but I think he had some private material from fazendas.
