This abstract is about the assistance to unprotected child at the province of Grão Pará Capital, from the years of 1870 to 1889, giving importance to the Instituto Paraense de Educandos Artíficies, which was founded in 1872. The questions that called more attention in all the questioned process were: 1) Who was the child that the related legislation used to call as unprotected child, as less favored and also, used to be called as damaged during the Imperial period? 2) Which is the relation between that child and the State and between the State to the child? 3) What kind of public policies were thought to guarantee the assistance for that child? 4) Which was the Instituto Paraense de Educandos Artíficies‟ importance during the expansion and the exploration rubber period? Based on those questions, we opted to choose as a general object understanding, through an interrelational analylis of events which deal with the Instituto Artífices‟ existence the childhood at the province from the years 1870 to 1889, observing its relation with the civil formation process of the population in the North of Brazil. In the theoretical-methodological approach, the interrelational analysis based itself on the New History in trying to bring the social and cultural historys‟ documents information closer, trying to blow up the context of the place in all its dimention. The used primary sources were the presidents‟ narratives of the Instituto Paraense de Educandos Artífices, the local educational legislation, writings from documents and articles which were published in Belém city at that time .
