Indicação de conteúdo: Geographical names are proper nouns, formed by a word or a combination of words or expressions, used to refer to a place, a feature, or specific areas. They nominally identify the features that make up the territory, and their analysis can reveal information that allows not only understanding the patterns of occupation of a particular place, involving the peoples who inhabited it and the languages spoken then, for example, but also identifying the characteristics of its economic production and even the type of vegetation that once existed, among other peculiarities. To fully harness the potential inherent in geographical names, however, it is necessary to minimize errors in identifying features and retrieving the information contained in them. This requires the standardization of these names, both in terms of the positional accuracy of the features in the territory and in their spelling, following common principles and recommendations that allow for consistent interpretation and use of the mapped items. With the release of this Manual, the IBGE presents a methodology for collecting geographical names that takes into account the concepts related to this subject and the specificities required for their standardization, from the perspective of institutional cartographic practices. It should be noted, however, that the proposed guidelines can be applied to any type of project, across various organizations and fields of knowledge, and do not depend on digital resources. The goal of this publication is to establish a minimum set of procedures that enable efficient data collection, making it accessible for other mapping entities in the country, as well as academic institutions and other groups interested in toponymy. This publication, also available on the IBGE’s online portal, covers the fundamental concepts related to the collection of geographical names and describes the three phases that characterize it: office preparation, fieldwork, and office consolidation of field information. Samples of documents from collections carried out by the IBGE field teams illustrate the volume, facilitating the understanding of the guidelines and providing a clearer visualization of the expected results.
