O 1968 e o AI-5 no Pará: memórias e histórias

Abstract

the article analyzes the memories of UFPA professors, students and civil servants
about 1968 and the post-AI-5 context in the city of Belém do Pará. The article works with the
digital collection built up with the testimonies of 56 people who took part in the student
movement at UFPA and who suffered human rights violations. The testimonies are part of the
digital collection of the project “UFPA and the Years of Lead: memories, traumas, silences and
educational culture (1964-1985)”, which is published in the UFPA repository. Working with
memories allows historians to broaden their sources and analyze memory as a possible source
to be used, linking the time of the remembered with the time of the narration. The use of digital
collections also allows some of the sources used by historians to be made available to the
general public, which is a way of producing public history.
