Abstract
This article studies, through the records of the IHGSP Journal, the engagement of this Institute’s members in the configuration of the faculty of the Geography and History course installed in USP in 1934, and in the debates over its contents and curricula. The case of Plinio Ayrosa was useful in identifying the practices these new professors were bringing to the university. It was thus possible to reopen the discussion on an already established institutional memory which erases these figures from the history of the course and, as a consequence, diminishes their participation in the history of Brazilian historiography.
