The Diaries of Emperor

Papers trips D. Pedro II can enter the list of World Heritage Site in 2012


D. Pedro I faced three wars, abdicated the throne and died young, at 35. It fell to D. Pedro II took advantage of the good life of the emperor. Interested in arts and science, made several trips through Brazil and the world, through Europe, the U.S., Egypt, Lebanon and other countries. On these occasions, he found local elites, went to dinner, museums and events. All this is recorded in about nine hundred documents, including personal diaries and drawings of the emperor, correspondences, theater programs, expense reports and newspapers.

The collection belongs to the Imperial Museum in Petropolis, State of Rio de Janeiro, and has just joined the National Registry of Memory of the World, UNESCO. In coming years, the museum aims to raise funds to digitize the material, making it available on the Internet, publishing journals and organizing a large exhibition. And for 2012, there another plan for the collection: compete for the title of World Heritage Site, also by Unesco.

The first trip to D. Peter was abroad in 1871, to Europe and Egypt. The second began in 1876 in the United States, where he met Graham Bell and the telephone. In the diaries, the emperor has experience with the invention, which arrived in Brazil soon after. "D. Peter traveled more than any ruler of the time. He had grants, but say it took even borrowed money to travel. Always brought objects for his private collection, but also made donations, "says Lucia Guimaraes, a historian at the University the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) and a member of the Institute holder Brazilian Geography and History (IHGB).

The acquis on trips to the museum was donated in 1948 by Prince D. Peter Gaston d'Orleans e Braganca, grandson of Princess Isabel. "With the early Republic, the royal family separated the private papers of officers, and led all individuals to Europe. Only then brought him back. We have here about 60 000 documents, "explains Neiba Cristina Machado da Costa, head of the Historical Archives Museum. Not all the papers belonged to the emperor. There are, for example, the diary of the Countess of Barral [See "The other half," p. 20], lover who accompanied him on some trips. The collection also includes letters sent by the Prince of Wales, by Louis Pasteur and Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

However, what really draws attention are the diaries, where the emperor describes places, people and his meetings worldwide. "Few leaders left travel diaries as well. He went to Egypt to see the excavations and recorded everything meticulously. And when compared with what I had read about the places, "said Lucia. According to the historian, there are many photos of these rides scattered throughout the archives of the museum, the National Library and IHGB. With the award, the material of Petrópolis will be on the Internet, but researchers still may make valuable discoveries rolling his other achievements.

At 40, the Museum Recôncavo Wanderley Pinho, Bahia, is undergoing restoration. The eighteenth-century house will reopen in 2014


Since the eighteenth century, residents and visitors of the Mill Town, the city of Candeias, Bahia, took advantage of the calm sea views of the Bay of All Saints. Also delighted with the four-storey mansion, with 55 rooms, a chapel and library of more than 200 pieces produced since the seventeenth century, including clothing, paintings, decorative objects and furniture. In the last decade, however, only some employees can move around the site. Without undergoing reforms since the 1970s, the building was in danger of collapse. With one month to complete 40 years as headquarters of the Museum Recôncavo Wanderley Pinho, the house is being restored, and should only be reopened in 2014. Money is short, but there are many plans for the future, how to expose pieces of contemporary art in the gardens.

In the place where today stands the house, earlier another machine, looted and burnt by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Since it was rebuilt the following century, went through periods of rise and decay until it reaches the hands of José Araújo Wanderley de Pinho (1890-1967), heir who conceived the museum. Pine has held various public offices in Congress and defended a bill that eventually led to the creation of the Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan). The court overturned the house, and in February 1971 the museum opened.

"This is one of the few places in the Recôncavo that maintain the original architecture of the mill. But I could not even get to there. It was raining inside the house, the wooden beams were rotten. Sometimes I wonder: Did they really wanted the house to fall? "Asked Daniel Rangel, responsible for directing the Institute's Museum of Cultural and Artistic Heritage of Bahia (Dimus). The collection, including original furnishings of the house, not suffered serious damage because it is stored in the Palace of Acclaim, in Salvador, about ten years. The house was empty, but construction only began in 2009. The structures were stabilized, the roof and floors were replaced, and until June , all outside will also be recovered.

The project received support from Petrobras and the government of Bahia, but there is still much to reach $ 9 million needed for the works. A step that needs funding is the reconstruction of the sugar factory, which eventually collapsing in recent years. "I visited the museum in 1980 and part of the factory was still whole. It was as if the actors enacting the milled sugar cane and rum made in those giant ovens and pans," says Rangel. The team is also beginning to think about future projects to attract more visitors. Candeias has a small population and few schools in Salvador, 65 miles away, had a habit of making the trip to the museum. The ideas include the use of the area of environment, considered natural heritage, to create a center of biological research, and the building beside a hotel or cabin.
