Abstract

Telling the history of a place requires an active listening to oral reports and analysis of information and records, so that the compilation of elements gives rise to the History of a place of a people, which form a set: the documentary heritage. This study aims to expose an experience report of the production of a book that tells the story of a city in the heart of the Amazon and highlights the importance of preserving individual and collective memory in relation to the document, history and memory, with a view to access to information for future generations. This is bibliographic research. Thus, the use of materials published in books, documentaries, searches for official records in public institutions, photographs, oral reports and the internet was limited. The purpose of creating documentary heritage is to provide the people with access to memory, to form their identity, favoring society's right to access its own history.
