Given the credible inexistence of public policies aimed at promoting/preserving local documentary and cultural memory, this article seeks to highlight the urgent and necessary demand for digitization and availability of public and private document collections relating to different contexts and aspects of Amapá's history, many of which are dispersed and in a vulnerable state of preservation. This is a brief and partial qualitative study. In this regard, we use bibliographical research, document analysis and interviews as methodological strategies. We also seek to outline some concepts such as heritage education, identity, historical document and digital preservation in order to relate the practice of digitizing historical documents to the conservation of documentary and cultural memory. The results point to the absence of specific public policies for the theme in question and the disregard for the local historical heritage (Museu Joaquim Caetano da Silva) that contribute to the consequent delay in scientific and cultural development in the State.
