This paper presents a “talk” about the history of curriculum showing how the author has been going through two of the several possible places that study the school material culture in the researches she has been carrying out, trying to grasp the history of curriculum in its most ordinary material expressions in the school history: the books, the notebooks, and analyzing, in the history of “exemplary schools”, the school buildings as the most visible expression of a curriculum project. Firstly some questions about the polysemy of the words curriculum and culture are pointed up, and how the theoretical references that I assume led to investigations about the school and the school culture to study the history of curriculum, facing the school particularity without losing the sight of the historical totality. Analyzing the results of an investigation about the buildings of “exemplary schools” and another one about the notebooks of normal school students, the author concludes that both analyses, the exemplary schools buildings and the deep study of the details found in the notebooks, allow the comprehension of the history of curriculum in its material expressions, identifying this history marks in the exemplarity shown in its buildings monumentality, in the selective processes in the admissions, in its high degree of requirement, in the “excellence” of its teachers, in the respect among teachers and students, and the process of negotiation that can be noticed on the notes written in the notebooks.
