PEREIRA, Conceição Meireles. The Portuguese Consular Service since the Regeneration till the end of the Monarchy - a study through the Government Gazette. População e Sociedade [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.144-156.  Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 0873-1861.

This paper aims to highlight some aspects of the organic and evolution of Portuguese consular services between the mid-1800s, after the Regeneration, until the end of the Constitutional Monarchy. The production of Consular Regulations and their contextualization is one of the first questions to be analyzed, as they provide a normative framework that reflects the growing organization and relevance of consular representation abroad; still at this level, a brief comparative analysis with Brazil is established. After the reorganization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1869, one seeks to understand the reorganization of 1891 and its repercussions on consular services. Finally, the potentialities of the Government Gazette as a privileged source for the study of consular issues are underlined, giving particular importance to the consular staff and posts from various angles of research.

Keywords : Portuguese consular service; consular regulations; consular staff; Constitutional Monarchy; Government Gazette.
