Writings of History in Museums
This course proposes to reflect on historiographical production in museums, understanding these institutions as laboratories of history, according to the definition of Ulpiano Bezerra de Meneses (1994).
It also aims to identify specific experiences in historiographical production, analyzing them as curatorial practices in museums such as the National Historical Museum, the Mariano Procópio Museum, and the Paulista Museum.
The scope encompasses heritage preservation actions as part of a museum's history-writing project, such as the National Monuments Inspectorate; disputes in the field of heritage and the creation of new history museums between the 1930s and 1940s; and the analysis of the history currently being produced in history museums, seeking to identify challenges, interests, continuities, and ruptures.

Collections and Curatorship in History Museums
Based on the exhibitions currently on display at the Museu Paulista, the aim is to discuss the themes presented, the collections used, and the multisensory resources available.
Through visits to the exhibition rooms and readings of books from the 2022 Ipiranga Museum Collection, the problems faced by museum professionals in their work will be addressed, such as the policy of acquiring collections, methods of documenting collections, conservation practices for artifacts, and actions to disseminate historical knowledge generated through outreach activities, especially exhibitions, courses, seminars, and publications.

Images and Accounts: Travelers and the Construction of Narratives
Starting from the premise of the shift in understanding of the world from the Enlightenment (18th century) and the strong commitment to cataloging animate and inanimate beings, the discipline focuses on some of the accounts and images produced by foreign artist-scientist-travelers who explored part of the province/state of São Paulo throughout the 19th century.
It will contrast with the representations produced by some local members and how the same elements are interpreted, how such images and texts were appropriated for a particular historical construction, especially by Afonso d'Escragnolle Taunay, when he was director of the Museu Paulista (1917-1945).
