Comissão “Paulo Devanier Lauda” de Memória e Verdade da UFSM e suas relações arquivísticas

Abstract

The present work consists of the study of the “Paulo Devanier Lauda” Memory and Truth Comission of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), first by analyzing its trajectory and how its work is related to Archivology and, after analyzing, investigating which are the recommendations of the Commission for the custody of the archives that subsidized its work. To carry out the research, databases were used to search for articles, theses, and dissertations to observe what has been elucidated about the truth commissions. We also used the Access to Information service with ordinances and letters related to the Commission and its connection with UFSM, and, finally, interviews with the members of the Commission. In the conclusions we will discuss how the UFSM Truth Commission relates to many other commissions in the country, especially university commissions, and what can be produced through its work on the right to memory and truth.
