This article analyzes the origins and trajectory of the Post Graduation Program in crop science of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), an institution with a great tradition in the field of agricultural sciences and considered as one of the most important in the country in this field of knowledge. In 1961, the then Rural University of the State of Minas Gerais (UREMG), former name of the UFV, began the first Masters Course in vegetable crops of the country, which in 1964 was renamed to crop science. Le Goff (2003) and Pierre Nora (1993), the documentary survey and the interviews were analyzed based on the concepts of memory and heritage, respectively, and analyzed the process of constitution and consolidation of this course of Post Graduation stricto sensu pioneer in Brazil, in the area of agrarian sciences, between the years of 1961 and 1981.
