In 1908, struggling with financial difficulties, he decided to return permanently to São Paulo where he once again took up his former job as an engineer and a writer, relegating his historical and archaeological studies to second place. At the time of his death on 3 April 1940, he had won enormous intellectual and cultural prestige for his multiple interventions in Brazilian scientific bodies. Neither should we forget his links with Portugal through which he encouraged numerous cultural exchanges, as in the case of his own collaboration with Seara Nova, nor the fact that he was a member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, the Historical and Geographical Institute of São Paulo [Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de São Paulo] and the Portuguese Society of Anthropology and Ethnology [Sociedade Portuguesa de Antropologia e Etnologia]. In 1935, during a ceremony to pay homage to him, he offered the latter the whole of the documental archive belonging to Portugália in recognition of the masterly succession of a new generation of scientists led by Mendes Correia, who also believed the key to knowledge about the Portuguese people and their historical evolution lay in the transdisciplinarity of the human and natural sciences.
