ABSTRACT
The article discusses the trajectory of the Oral Memory Project of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute in three different moments: the preliminary phase of the first interviews conducted in the 1980s; the second period, between 2007 and 2020, when the methodology of oral history was incorporated into a formally structured research project; and the current context, marked substantially by the COVID-19 pandemic, which brings up new theoretical and methodological questions regarding how to develop the project purposefully in such an adverse scenario.
