Hi David, Yes, they still need to upload those for both Horta and Angra. Only Ponta Delgada has passports on-line.
They could also go back, and re-upload some books which frankly are almost unreadable nowadays.. I've seen books whose images are basically thumbnails of the real image, like this one: http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-LF-LAJESDASFLORES-O-1798-1810/FLR-LF-LAJESDASFLORES-O-1798-1810_item1/P58.html A lot of parishes also need to be covered from about 1905 to 1911. The law in Portugal states that every five years, all the books older than 100 years need to be turned over by the civil registry offices into the 'district' archives. At this point, it would be expected that all the books from up to 1910 would have been delivered 4 years ago. In practice, no one seems to understand who pays for the transport (the civil registry or the archive), so in most cases the books are just left there waiting for the competent authorities to pick them up. It's possible that they were already delivered into the Horta, Angra and Ponta Delgada archives, and that they'll now be scanned. Keep an eye on http://tombo.pt/en which should be able to tell you when that happens. I may remember to post an announcement here, also. João C.
