The place of documentary heritage: Brasilia and Novacap Fond

Abstract

This article discusses the documentary heritage as a presentation of the patrimonial universe still negligibly explored, which can bring inquiries about its legitimacy as well as its role in this context. A closer relation between the documentary heritage and the society is a fundamental, but finds itself unclear, be it in its practice, or in its theory. From this debate, we studied two cases that legally integrate the Heritage Lists: Brasilia as a World Heritage, and the NovaCap Fond as Documentary Heritage, reflecting about the place of documents in the patrimonial context.
