The Institutional Memory is constituted from the process of choice and selection of what was
and is relevant to the history of an Institution, in this scenario the News Portal of the Federal
University of Pará and the Institution's Academic Units is studied to identify this relationship .
This research has as its guiding problem: How does the information on environmental
sustainability disseminated within the scope of the Federal University of Pará constitute its
Institutional Memory? To answer this question, the general objective is to analyze the
dissemination of technical-scientific production on environmental sustainability generated
within the scope of the Federal University of Pará for the constitution of Institutional
Memory. As for the research methods and techniques, a single case study was carried out for
data collection, and Content Analysis for the analysis of the data obtained. According to the
cut delimited by the research, five sources of evidence were analyzed: Institutional
Documents of the Federal University of Pará and the Institutional Communication Office;
Analysis, based on data mining, of the pages of the News Portal of the Federal University of
Pará and the websites of the Academic Units; Questionnaire answered by the administrators
of these pages; Interview with the Director of the Communication Office of the University
and Survey of Technical-scientific Production on the subject in the Institutional Repository of
Theses and Dissertations of the Federal University of Pará. As a result, it was identified that
the disclosures made through the Portal and the websites of the Academic Units are
recognized by the University's management as an instrument in achieving the Institution's
strategic management. There is dissemination of information on environmental sustainability
on the University's websites, however the theme can be worked on further. The
Communication Office recognizes the relevance of the theme and has been developing
strategies for greater dissemination. As for the constitution of the Institutional Memory,
although there is recognition that the Portal is a form of Constitution of the Institutional
Memory of the Federal University of Pará, there is still no concern in the sense of structuring
and maintaining it from this perspective, with the need to instrumentalize such a need. It was
concluded that the University News Portal and the websites of the Academic Units can be
considered as instruments in the constitution of the Institutional Memory of the Federal
University of Pará, although currently they are not treated nor prepared to act in this way,
however, they can become institutionalized places of memory.
