PERES, Eliane. Creating an archive and writing the history of education: from a crafting gesture to scientific practice. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2019, vol.19, e067.  Epub 01-Maio-2019. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v19.2019.e067.

This paper discusses the intrinsic relationship between a crafting gesture that creates an archive and the process of writing the history of education. Based on an experience of over a decade of uninterrupted work associating gathering, keeping, organizing, and researching in and based on a specific archive, this paper presents some choices we had to make throughout the process, justifies those choices and discusses them. This archive was created in a public university in Brazil, and currently houses over five thousand inventoried items. Our main goal was to show that the idea supporting the creation of this archive is having a place that maintains a collective memory of school children, early-education/primary school teaching, social and school reading and writing practices, and socially-referenced research practices.
