Abstract

Death certificates provide important data such as causa mortis, age of death, birth and death places, parental information, etc. Such information may be used to analyze not only what caused the death of the person, but also a large number of demographic information such as internal migration, the relation of death cause with marital status, sex, profession, etc. Thanatos is a platform designed to extract information from the Death Certificate Records in Pernambuco (Brazil), a collection of "books" kept by the local authorities from the 16th century onwards. The current phase of the Thanatos project focus on the books from the 19th century.
