You can also get it directly from the archive in Madeira - http://www.arquivo-madeira.org Look under 'publicacoes' In terms of payment - they ask for an undated cheque - this has not been possible from Canada, so I have sent them a dated cheque (bank issued) with a validity of 6 months. This has been accepted. They no longer accept direct payment from an agency such as Western Union.
