SILVA, Stella Sanches de Oliveira. The conservation of collections and/or archives in the educational institutions of Mato Grosso do Sul: search for an educational heritage. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.3, pp.832-845. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v16n3-2017-17.

I investigate the case of three institutions as to how they cared (or not) for their collections. By visiting the places where these institutions keep their documentation, I realized that in each institution the treatment and the understanding of the meaning of those documents have no more use in the present time, they are differentiated. Those three institutions have their collections grouped in a physical location, which is called the “archive”. But what is the reality? Have those institutions spent any time thinking about these locations as a “educational archive"? From these two questions, I try to analyze how the school bookkeeping conservation practices reveal the search for an educational heritage. The school records are important to keep and preserve the history of institutions and thus convey an educational heritage. Educational heritage as a legacy to be transmitted by disseminating knowledge of cultural production of a society.

Keywords : Collection; School Archive; Preservation; Educational Heritage.
