Documentary reorganization of the Cultural and Historical Center of Ibero-American Nursing: report of experience

Abstract

Objective: To report the joint experience of reorganizing materials from the collection of the Cultural Historical Center of the Ibero-American Nursing of the School of Nursing of the University of São Paulo, carried out from 2013 to 2015. Method: The partnerships and restructuring and reorganization strategies of the project were listed in the period between 2013 and 2015, which covered three stages to achieve it and the collections that integrate this center were listed. Results: It was noted that the reopening of the new Center, in an accessible and better distributed space, increased the number of site visits, which today is a mandatory stop in activities of some undergraduate and postgraduate courses of the Institution, as well as in the activities that seek to expose what is and what does the nursing profession, as is the case of the event "USP and the professions", promoted by the Pro-Rectory of Culture and Extension. Conclusions: This "new" Center has achieved its goal of not being a static and lifeless museum, but of being a place of reconstruction of the identity and history of a profession, often mystified.
