On-line resources on portuguese archives [EN]

Not being as aware as I should, about the professional framework of archivists in Portugal, a lot of questions come to my mind. Many of them may have complicated answers but others, will certainly have obvious answers (even those need to be asked).
Last week, one of my teachers, regarding a class assignment for the International Professional Contexts, made a comment on how, after some research on Portuguese archives, he found a lot of information on-line, but, all of it in Portuguese. And this makes sense, if we think on the Portuguese community of archivists, and in the transmission of the role of the Archives and Archivists to the Portuguese society… but when we come to think from the point of view of the ‘global’ community of Archivists, it seems to me that, the exclusive use of the Portuguese language can be an obstacle to the sharing of knowledge and practice. More and more, it makes me sense to share, exchange experience, learn with what is best done in the world (where Portugal is included), question together.
