The analysis was based on the bibliographical production related to the diffusion collection, in addition to documentary research to be carried out in previously selected. The results were quite satisfactory in that Most of the institutions surveyed which understand the importance of promoting access to the information they have custody, and verify that the Cabanagem is still very much present in the research lines of these institutions, where they frequently promote actions aimed at disseminating this theme.
