Abstract
A vila de Santarém era uma das principais do Reino na Idade Média e Moderna. Seria de esperar que o seu arquivo contivesse um testemunho documental expressivo dessa importância para essas cronologias, como os atuais arquivos de Lisboa, Évora, Porto ou Coimbra. Pretende-se, com este trabalho, fazer um levantamento das referências aos documentos medievais e modernos do antigo cartório de Santarém, dado que muitos eruditos foram atraídos pela riqueza e dimensão do seu espólio, bem como ao seu uso ao longo da Idade Moderna, até 1810, data do aparente desaparecimento da documentação mais antiga.

One would expect its archive to contain an expressive testimony to such relevance for those chronologies, such as it can be found at today’s archives of Lisbon, Évora, Oporto or Coimbra. The aim of this paper is to identify references to medieval and modern documents existent in the old archive of Santarém, since many scholars were attracted to the richness and scope of its holdings, as well as to their usage throughout the Modern Ages, up until 1810, when the most ancient documents apparently disappeared.
