Objective: To present “The Memory Points” Program, which was resultant of a public policy on culture and heritage run by IBRAM (Brasiliam Museum Institute). Methodology: Through narrative review, it is presented a brief history of that program. Afterwards, the results of a document and questionnaire surveys about the characteristics of Memory Points associated to that policy are are presented. Results: O The program came over in 2009 and had its peak in 2011-2014 years, guided by antropologic concept of culture. The low rate of survey returns indicates that many of these points may not be active anymore. Conclusions: It is concluded that memory points carry out cultural actions that go beyond memory and heritage preservation actions, valuing diversified local cultures, and that state actions to promote memory points seem to be essential for their survival.
