Sumario:Writing is a graphic language that, as a form of human activity, can signify thought and express the phenomena of the spirit, also to create acts that, as true, emerge as genuine reflections. Embodied in various media (sculpted, carved, handwritten, or printed), it will transport a message through time, granting it permanence and materiality, enabling the connection between the writer/producer and the reader, who must transform and interpret the word, while translating information into knowledge, belief, art, ethics or entertainment. In the present investigation, the existence of the book-document will be addressed as an object conceived, written, edited, bound, marketed, or stored to be read and used, bearing marks of provenance that show the nature of the relationships of the object with remote(s) possessor(s) and eventual user(s). The study of the marks found in documents contained in the archives located in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores: inscriptions, exlibris, stamps, labels, annotations in the margins, dedications, and various interventions, are relevant in the identification of the documentary specimens, making the knowledge of the history of the collections possible. At the same time, the analysis of these marks leads to the study of the reading personalities who populated the Atlantic islands.  ARK CAICYT: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18511740/fgasmkjc6
