Biblioteca e patrimônio histórico cultural: poética da moradia

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the informational potential of the residential cultural heritage and its peculiarities, using a metaphorical comparison to the concept of library. It is of great importance to address the topic since it can open new doors for the librarian's work with the historical heritage, besides being able to enhance the preservation of these assets. The main goal is to expand the view of the library and its components. The research is descriptive, with a qualitative approach, and its methodology was a theoretical analysis of the theme, working with bibliographic content. The analysis pointed out that the heritage can be worked through the librarian, based on different informational and documentary sources present in old houses - besides the residence itself - and that the relations of the residence with its objects and with the people in the space are important to formulate a construction of memory in the environment.
