Abstract This text records the memories of teacher Lívia de Oliveira aiming to contribute to the writing of the history of geography as an academic discipline. The trajectory of the teacher allows us to understand the historical context of the construction of public universities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Born in the state of São Paulo in 1927, Lívia worked in elementary school and also with higher education. She was also a pioneer in the development of academic research in the area of teaching geography, especially in the field of school cartography. Her work enabled the school cartography stop being a simple transposition of concepts and technical methods into the elementary school.
