Memórias da Irmandade Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte em Cachoeira - Bahia/Brasil: documentação da confraria

Abstract

The highlight of this research is the collection of documentary collections about the Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte Fraternity, protected and made available to the public by the Boa Morte Fraternity Cultural Center, located in one of the Cachoeira - Bahia colonial houses and by other cultural institutions, such as the Pierre Verger Foundation, Artistic and Cultural Heritage Institute (IPAC), National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), which have a rich concentration of dossiers about the Fraternity's memories, told through accumulated and produced documentation, composed of manuscripts, printings,

photographs, audiovisual, drawings, paintings and other varied informational records. Regarding the architectural environment, the building's spatial context will be revisited, where it operates the Boa Morte Fraternity Cultural Center, integrated with the scenic heritage of the city of Cachoeira, legalized by IPHAN / Ministry of Culture, with historical passages of other forms of addresses in the colonial houses of Bahia, specifically in the city where Boa Morte Fraternity is established, Cachoeira. It presents a brief theoretical and conceptual reflection on archive and memory and the relationship of the document with memory. Thus, this research seeks to raise reflections on documentary heritage related to archives, architectural and urban monuments and cultural manifestations, in their spatiality.
