Revista Brasileira de História da Educação (Aug 2016)
History of Education in the Journal of the Historical and Geographic Institute of São Paulo, Brazil
Abstract
Although Historical and Geographic Institutes are of great value to Brazilian historiography, only limited attempts have been made in the area of educational historiography to draw on these journals as primary sources of information about the History of Education. This article analyzes the manner the Revista do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de São Paulo has contributed towards the History of Education in Brazil, by analyzing a selection of articles published between 1923 and 1996 by Hélio Viotti, SerafimLeite, Affonso de Carvalho, Ernesto Penteado and Ernesto de Sousa Campos. These articles are of fundamental importance for the historiography of Brazilian education because they enable us to understand the literary elite´s opinions (represented by scholars who published articles in the Journal)on Brazilian education of the period.
