This research has the purpose to rediscover the maestro Waldemar Henrique (1905-1995)
through the letters written by him. In 1995, after his death, the letters were donated for the
Government of the State of Pará with more than 15,000 pieces. At first, the collection was
trusted to the Theatro da Paz, but in 1998, the collection was under the responsibility of the
State Museum of Pará. Officially, in 2005, it was donated to the Museu da Imagem e do Som
e ao Sistema Integrado de Museus e Memoriais (Museum of Image and Sound and the
Integrated System of Museums and Memorials).The maestro was an internationally
recognized musician. On March 23, 2010, the Waldemar Henrique DVD Collection was
released with part of the Maestro collection in the city of Belém. The study focuses on the
letters sent to his friends and family. The maestro had the habit of writing letters during his
personal trips and artistic tours. Fifty-nine letters of his collection can been accessed in his
DVD Collection. In Anthropology, relations are based on the theme of intersubjectivity and
patrimony; History is tangled up for bringing debates and contributions concerning memory;
Literature is touched, for letters are narratives in which the real, the fictional and the poetic
are combined; and Museology is projected by proposing a specific listing and a thematic
categorization form, according to current research contributions. Through this
multidisciplinary look, this work will be a reflection and a resignification about the place of
the personal objects in the maestro’s life, seeking their values, their potential to revert their
meanings in emotions and memories. In addition, we propose that all content on this DVD
should be available in the internet.
