The present report aims to detail the activities undertaken during the curricular traineeship in Translation and research project developed at the Centre for Atlantic History Studies — Alberto Vieira (CEHA-AV), of the Madeira Archives and Library Department (DRABM). As a starting point, a theoretical and methodological framework was followed within the scope of Lexicology, where Onomastics is included, i.e., the study of proper names, as both the host entity (in the person of Dr Filipe dos Santos, traineeship supervisor) and the University of Madeira (in the person of Professor Doctor Naidea Nunes Nunes, scientific supervisor) were interested in the analysis and description of data from the parish marriage records (starting with those of Santa Cruz) previously compiled by DRABM, and which had benefited from a spelling update and standardisation for online research purposes. The methodology used was a comparative study between masculine and feminine names by centuries, observing their evolution as individual names as well as the composition of family names. The availability of data from other parishes (Ribeira Brava, Sé, and Caniço) also enabled for comparison between them by centuries, discussing possible similarities and differences. The traineeship also included the translation from Portuguese to English of four photographic catalogues — two on Madeira Embroidery and two on Clothing used in Madeira Island. Furthermore, there were occasions when linguistic revision and editing (sometimes even translation) of the Portuguese and English versions of prefaces, abstracts, and excerpts from scientific articles to be published in the annual journal Arquivo Histórico da Madeira, Nova Série were required.
