The most recent issues of the journal were published in 2008/2009. Here is a summarised profile of each of the directors: Domingos Leite de Castro was a close friend of Martins Sarmento and one of the founding members of the Martins Sarmento Society ( Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa Brasileira [Great Portuguese Brazilian Encyclopaedia], no. 6, n.d., p. 234). He served as the first director. Avelino da Costa Freitas, born in 1842, graduated in medicine.

Avelino Germano da Costa Freitas took part in the first issue of Revista de Guimarães as the author of the chronicle of events at the Martins Sarmento Society. José da Silva Monteiro was born in Guimarães in 1847 and passed away in 1940. He graduated in law in 1886. He was appointed secretary of the board of the Martins Sarmento Society in 1888. In February 1928, he was appointed as a judge on the Supreme Court of Justice and, in April, became Minister of Justice. Avelino da Silva Guimarães, in turn, was born in Guimarães in 1841 and passed away in the same city in 1901. He served as the mayor of his city and was an early contributor to the journal, which he directed on several occasions and helped to found. He was one of the key figures behind the Industrial Exhibition of 1884 (Braga, Idem, pp. 18-19). Another director of the Revista de Guimarães was Father José Maria Fiúza. Although he did not contribute directly to the Revista de Guimarães , he was not inexperienced in the field of periodical publications. He had served as the chief editor of the newspaper A Voz do Lima , which was first published in August 1886. He passed away in 1933 (A.V. Braga, Idem, pp. 19-20). Joaquim José de Meira, on the other hand, was a physician (A.V. Braga, Idem, p. 19). He was born in Guimarães in 1858 and passed away there in 1936. He served as mayor of Guimarães more than once. He was also one of the founding members of the Martins Sarmento Society. João Gomes de Oliveira Guimarães, the Abbot of Tagilde, was born in Bogalhós de Baixo, in the parish of S. Vicente de Moscatelos, in 1853, and passed away in Tagilde in 1912. He completed his theological studies in 1875 and was ordained as a priest in 1876. He was a close friend of Martins Sarmento and witnessed the founding of the Martins Sarmento Society. In the Guimarães journal, his scholarly side emerged through various studies on the municipality of Guimarães (A.V. Braga, Idem, pp. 21-22). Eduardo de Almeida was born on 3 February 1884. He was a Republican MP, and his speeches were published in 1921. In one of these speeches, delivered on 13 July 1911, he discussed the draft Constitution (Almeida, Eduardo, Discursos [Speeches], 1921, p. 94). João Martins de Freitas served as the director of Revista de Guimarães from 1909 to 1910, a relatively brief tenure following Eduardo de Almeida's initial period in the role. With regard to Alberto Oliveira Lobo, he did not contribute as an article writer to the journal he led. In the final year of his directorship, the publication ceased until 1921, when Eduardo de Almeida took on the leadership (Braga, 1940, p.
