Abstract:
This text aimed to reflect on the twenty years of the SBHE interweaving its creation (1999) with the paths taken by previous generations for the formation of the field of History of Education in Brazil. It shows its origins in Education and discusses its belonging both to this field and to History. Theoretical issues are indicated on its production and it can be concluded that this field crossed the twentieth century in ascending line culminating with the creation of the SBHE in 1999 arriving consolidated to the 21st century. Regarding the challenges, it points out the diverse context in which the field should continue to act in view of the demand for internationalization and the apprehensions about the reduction of the History of Education in the teacher training curriculum.
