[ Abstract ]
With the privatization of the Brazilian railway network, between
1992 and 1998, a series of public and social actions highlighted
the preservation of railway assets. The railway company's
liquidation legislation (2007) also required the identification
and custody of historic railway assets. In this context, we
developed several researches on the identification and
management of railway assets in the state of São Paulo. The
research project (from 2019 to 2021) under our coordination aims
to try new registration methodologies (of material or
documentary culture), to re-evaluate preservation guidelines and
different activation instruments (functional, potential and
sensory) on the industrial heritage, starting from
multi-interdisciplinary theoretical-methodological perspectives.
Thus, we start from various disciplinary understandings to face
different purposes in relation to goods and railway sites:
identification, correlation, application of new technologies,
protection instruments and public policies. This article intends
to detail the theoretical and methodological criteria adopted,
as well as the results obtained so far.
