BETWEEN SAVING GESTURES AND ACTS OF WITNESS: THE FILE OF MEMORIES OF THE FACULTY OF EDUCATION/UFRGS
Keywords:
Archives, History of education, Personal Files, Oral HistoryAbstract
This paper discusses the establishment of the Archive of Memories of the Faculty of
Education/UFRGS. Its organization concerns the field of the History of Education, and its relations to
the postulates of Cultural History, by enabling the investigation of educational experiences sometimes
overlooked by historiography. The theme is also related to contemporary discussions about archival
practices.This archive houses many different historical documents. But "the flavor of the archive"
(Farge, 2009), without neglecting the official documentation, resides in the receipt of personal files of
teachers and students, many of them consisting of ordinary writings, and also in the production of the
oral memory of individuals who make up the faculty and school communities. These gestures of
keeping focus efforts for establishing a Living Archive, in which the issues raised in the present, which quickly turn into the past, direct our actions and intentions about what to keep, why to keep and for
whom to keep.
