Archival recovery, especially of memory threatened by dictatorships or totalitarian regimes, is always a pressing task. The recovery of the Edgar Leuenroth archive at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, considered the most valuable set of documents on the workers' movement during its unionization phase, involved many intellectuals and institutions. To accompany the reasoning and life-paths of those who realized the sheer importance of this archive and endeavored to preserve it is a worthwhile pursuit.
