Nivea, According to Joao Ventura, archivist, that one book is missing. I would think that if there was a natural disaster, the other books would show some damage.
It's just that books go missing. It's sad. Maybe someone "borrowed" it back in the day and it was meant to be returned but wasn't. I've had a couple of interesting jobs in life and one was to clean out the houses after the tenants moved out so the property could be listed for sale. I would find library books in these houses! The Passaportes out of Ponta Delgada existed for that 1883-92 (or so) time period in the 1980s, as Bob De Mello had the Hawaiian emigrants extracted for his book. But if you go to the archive today, the book is not there. It wasn't there in the mid-1990s either. It just disappeared somewhere between the 1980s and 1990s. It's frustrating. Hope some of the books show up in someone's home and they return them one day.
