Ricardo, No. What you should complain about is that the central government archives have developed a FREE tool that provides pretty good access to these archives (It's the one used in http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/<http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/details?id=1019364>). But for some reason, the CCA decided to have Via Oceanica develop a separate interface that has basically no search, and allows these kinds of duplicates. I'm sure the Via Oceanica contract is not free. What the CCA currently has is actually two systems running in parallel. One is extremely powerful, and allows them to catalog their archives (which is what they're using it for), and also to provide access to digital versions of the same (which they don't). The other, is clearly designed to run the CCA 'content' website and allows some browsing in the digital archive, via a pretty simple interface.
As to whether these things should be free or not.. That's another story altogether.
