Abstract

XAVIER, Libânia Nacif  and  ROBERT, Mychelle Nelly Maia. Teachers’ personal archives: what do they keep and what do they tell us?. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.20, e045.  Epub Jan 29, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v20-2021-45.

The article refers to the Personal Archive of Rubin Santos Leão de Aquino (1929-2013): teacher of history on university-admission preparatory courses in the south region of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and active intellectual mediator, having worked in radio programs; unions and entities aiming to defend political rights during the military regime. The text is divided into four sections: the first reflects on the nature of the personal files of K12 teachers; the second describes the contents of Aquino’s archive; the third articulates the holder’s personal characteristics with the marks of a professional culture of high school history teachers; the fourth and last section points to the evidence and challenges that emerged in the research, woven into the dialogue between the archival organization and the research activities with these documentary sources.

Keywords : Personal archives; Basic education teachers; History of the teaching profession.
