Resumen
This research is the result of a study conducted at the Museu Municipal Parque da Baronesa
(MMPB) - Pelotas / RS, which aims to analyze the preventive conservation actions developed
in the textile collection of the museum institution. It has as its central theme the conservation
of MMPB pieces trying to identify the practices carried out in relation to the handling,
packaging and storage of textile collections. The main objective of this study is to propose a
data collection instrument in the form of a checklist, seeking to verify the actions in relation to
textiles. Through this research we aim to highlight the importance of preventive maintenance
on one of the elements that makes up part of history, representing an entire path taken by
Pelotas society both on a local, regional and even national. As the final product a Preventive
Conservation of Collections Manual Textiles will be made, where the objective is that this is a
practical guide containing the optimal ways to handle, pack and store the pieces of fabric. It is
concluded that the practices exercised by MMPB are considered satisfactory, but a series of
adjustments and interventions have yet to be developed. It is intended however; to contribute
to the debate about the importance of preventive conservation of historical collections in
institutions, encouraging the safeguard of the existing textile heritage in museums.
