Abstract

Research on photography with a focus on a city in the state of Tocantins is a way to try to tell of the history of this city, since there is little information or files that reveal part of this history. This research has as its main objective to identify, through photographic records, the history and memory of the city of Tocantinopolis - TO, Brazil. Of a qualitative approach and basic nature, the data collection instruments used were visual sources (photographs) regarding Tocantinopolis - TO, in addition to bibliographic research. Among some results found, the analyzed images revealed part of the history and the memory of this city. The information generated in the analyses helped us to identify visual elements present in the photographs that allowed us to expand the reading and interpretation capacity, which was fundamental to understand the stories, memories and the context that accompany (or accompanied) these images registered in this research.
