Abstract
This article gave rise to a search, the main purpose of which was to identify, quantify and analyse, in the Museum of Inconfidence, located in the town of Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, the presence of self-declared school subjects. To this end, they were used as sources, letters and letters from teachers and school leaders, addressed to the Museum directors, and books with visitors’ subscriptions, the preferred sources of this research. This is an original source that is still underexploited by research in the field of history and history of education. The period defined for this study included the years 1945, when the museum was inaugurated, and 1965, when a new political phase began, with the establishment of the dictatorship, in which changes are observed in general cultural and educational narratives. The analyses were made from the quantitative surveys of self-declared visitors to students and teachers, or linked to educational institutions. A higher number of visitors to private and religious institutions and a significant register of visitors to military schools were observed, while the presence of subjects connected to the public school, even geographically close, was well curtailed.
