		Minas’ historic, artistic and natural resources as well as the organization of its society, endowed with the basic elements of infrastructure and safety, are excellent advantages for the tourism industry.

	Journal of Social History: Demographic change in a post-export boom society: the population of Minas Gerais, Brazil, ...
		These complement the data on declining sex ratios among Minas slaves and support the conclusion that slave reproduction was having a significant impact on the demography of the capitania's slave population by the early 19th century.
		However, while Minas slaves were contracting both in absolute terms and as a percentage of the total population between 1786 and 1808, important changes were occurring in the sex ratio and in the age structure of the slave population.
		That the sex ratio continually fell is convincing evidence that the increase in the number of Minas slaves after 1808 was mainly due to the reproductive patterns within the extant slave population of the capitania.

	Minas Gerais (Brazil)

		A set of cards sold with bars of Eucalol soap in the 1930s shows Minas Geraes (as it was then spelled) with the present state flag, which is something of a surprise since the published sources give 1962 or 1963 as the adoption date of this flag.
