Original title: Heraldo da Madeira (O)
O Heraldo da Madeira was a Funchal daily newspaper published 1904–1915, directed by J. Reis Gomes, notable for publishing historical documents.
This daily newspaper began publication on 14 August 1904 and ceased on 14 August 1915, after 3,218 issues. In its early years it ran to eight pages and printed illustrations on Sundays. For some time an English-language edition was also published, intended especially for the passengers of the foreign steamers calling at the Port of Funchal (Porto do Funchal); this edition appeared irregularly.
Its director was Captain J. Reis Gomes, its editor-in-chief Father Fernando A. Silva, and its editors Lieutenants A. Artur Sarmento and Jaime de Campos Ramalho. It published a considerable number of unpublished writings and valuable documents of great interest to the history of this archipelago.
