We have an immense collection of documents related to the political and intellectual life of Fernando Henrique and Ruth Cardoso, as well as other public figures close to the couple. This is a digitized collection, available to everyone, online, free of charge. It is also a vast and rich source of consultation for academic researchers, journalists, etc., who can make previously scheduled in-person visits.
To attract new generations and awaken young people’s interest in the history of our country, we welcome many students at our headquarters in São Paulo, where they can visit our exhibitions and learn to use the documents as a source of research and knowledge.
In all our activities, such as seminars, publications, exhibitions, videos, and educational programs, we seek to establish a bridge between the past, the present, and the future. We believe that this is the path to building a better Brazil. We gather on this page some of these contents.
