The purpose of this article is present the first results of Global South Project. Puertos y desarrollo económico y social en el Atlántico Meridional (1850-2010) and the Project Acervo Documental da spu with the support of the Fluminense Federal University and the Inter-American Development Bank (UFF/BID, Portuguese acronyms). In this sense, we analyze the construction of Port of Rio de Janeiro through the Caixa Especial dos Portos and the new Economic Ports Community, at a time when Brazil definitely enters the global maritime network. Also, we present a reflection about the possibilities of using mainly the cartography and the administrative processes as sources due to the fact that it’s unprecedented documentation; as well, we analyze the performance of Caixa Especial dos Portos in the treatment of large companies installed in the new port region and its unfolding.
