This work intends contributing the Brazilian Historiography on the slavery favouring a still little studied region. That is to remind that the region of Bragança Paulista was an important area producing staple-commodities (such as corn, beans plus pig breeding), and only in the last quarter of the 19th century coffee reaches the status of main product of the local economy. Perhaps, by this reason the Bragança region was − in that period − characterized by the predominance of small and medium plains of slaves. The city of Bragança Paulista still has another peculiarity i.e. the Club of the Slaves − an association formed by the slaves that had a school to teach the slaved partners. The research was based on several source-types such as the statistical notes of 1836, the census of 1872, the newspaper O Guaripocaba , official correspondence from the Common Council, forensic documents (post-mortem inventories, wills, criminal law, summary of fault, reporting crime, legal actions, actions of freedom, freedom of self, self maintenance of freedom, slaves value arbitration, cells for slaves, examinations of body of the crime, self-explanatory embargo, file of questions, interrogation, slaves purchasing and selling roll, slaves roll on half conveyance taxes). The conjoined analysis of such sources has enlarged the reach of expectations by helping us to amplify the understanding of that society which was permeated with the slaving regime
