Those images were scanned from a huge physical database of a reference
sector on Brazilian Ministry of Justice. This database comes from nineteen
century but not all of them were scanned. All laws that were scanned are on
the index documents (XLS).

The system crashed on 2009 when documents were being scanned. The system was
an IBM Content Manager instalation and there is no support for this version
anymore. The common reference to all documents is that each one of them are
related to a single Law Project (Parlament Bill). Like that:
Lots of docs with discussions on camara of Deputy ---------|
Lots of docs with discussion on senate ---------------------------|====> Law
Project Number X
Oficial diary
publication --------------------------------------------------|
But on the file base, we don't know, previously which files relates to each
one of those phases. And we don't know neither, how to group the files
related to a single Law Project. This relation were lost when the system
crashed.
