Researchers from the Center for Memories at the Federal University of Amapá (Unifap) are engaged in a project titled "Memórias Reveladas: safeguarding the legal and cultural history of the state of Amapá." This project, in collaboration with the Court of Justice of Amapá (TJAP), involves cataloging legal processes that are over 100 years old. The initiative aims to preserve significant historical documents that shed light on the social and political life in Amapá since the 19th century.

The Court of Justice of Amapá has made available around 1,300 boxes, each containing 5 to 10 processes from various legal areas, which typically consist of 50 to 300 pages. These documents are crucial for understanding key events that have shaped Amapá's society throughout history. However, in instances where documents are too damaged to be restored, they are returned to the court, ensuring that only recoverable material is preserved in their archives.

This meticulous work includes cleaning, organizing, and describing each legal process, along with systematically transferring documents to new boxes to protect them from deterioration. The project not only illustrates the importance of preserving historical legal records but also enhances public awareness of Amapá's cultural heritage as students and researchers explore these significant legal documents as part of their scholarly inquiries.
