Abstract

This paper’s objective is to present the first results obtained by the Scientific and Academic Memory: Document Preservation of Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of USP (1934-1968) project, approved in USP Memory Notice 2012, by the Culture and Extension rectory. This project aims to characterize the research traditions from the first decades of the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters, created in 1934, to the university reform of 1969. This article presents the analysis of different theses and dissertations presented on the faculty’s various scientific fields, after the search for what we call “scientific genealogies”, a way to track the guiding teachers and their students. This way, we intend to see which students remained at the university and, in turn, have become mentors in their respective fields.
