Dedicated to topics in general and local history, the Revista de Estudos Históricos was undoubtedly an innovation in Portuguese historiography at the time, aimed at a specialised academic audience. Bringing together a range of contributions and authors with varied historiographical perspectives, from a markedly critical history to a narrative history, this publication, innovative in theoretical terms, became a reference work, sometimes distancing itself from the historical nationalism that marked the historiography of the time. Cultivating a documentary and erudite history, extolling debate as a vehicle for clarification and historiographical innovation, this publication reflected a concern for truth and objectivity over a more in-depth interpretation of the facts.
