Abstract

This article analyzes photography as a historical source for understanding the school culture of Lauro Sodré’ Institute in Belém do Pará between 1900 and 1904. More than just visual records, the images were produced in a specific political and institutional context and represents practices of discipline, work, and professional training. Based on the analysis of photographs and the Institute's Monograph (1904), the study draws on visuality and school material culture references (Dussel, 2006; Kossoy, 2014) to problematize how photography constructs institutional narratives aligned with the republican project in Pará. By proposing the reading of images as historical documents, the research contributes to the historiographical debate on the use of visual sources in the History of Education.
