Abstract

This work discusses the administration of Renato de Azevedo Duarte Soeiro as director of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (DPHAN) (1967-1979). A study was carried out on the development of the patrimony preservation policy in this period and the adequacy of IPHAN's actions in the protection, conservation and defense of assets, and the challenges of industrialization, emphasizing Soeiro's influence on these changes. Thus, it is sought to address the whole period in which Renato Soeiro worked in this institution, from his entry as a technical assistant of the third class in 1938, until the end of his career at IPHAN as director of this body. For this, the main programs and actions developed by Soeiro for the preservation, conservation and dissemination of the national patrimony are pointed out, and how they contributed to the progress of IPHAN activities in the country.
