This dissertation studies the construction of memory from the preservation of cultural heritage, in particular the material, taking as its object of study the mapping and identification of communities that give attention to their cultural property in the Valley Gramame complex, João Pessoa - PB. Considering the extent of the communities that lie within the geographical limits of the valley, the cutout provided in this work is directed to three specific communities: the community and the community Gramame Old Mill, located in a rural area of João Pessoa; Mituaçu and maroon community in the municipality of Conde. The objective is to identify the cultural assets of these communities and understand the strategies established for the preservation of these assets. Methodologically, this work is based in the investigation of qualitative and field research whose purpose is to identify the cultural assets of the communities mentioned throughout history oralque search by means of orality which was recorded in memory. From the perspective of participant observation, I found working with the concept of culture as an expression of meaning, trying to realize an interpretation of human diversity. Orality contributed in the writing of the common origin and the everyday community development, enabling greater visibility of the history of each resident, establishing standards and major changes over time, place, and successive generations. To do so, the insertion in the communities for collection and recording of information about local history, means or used to support the preservation of this memory appears as the key point of the research. Some problems arise when one of the non-institutionalized memory, since the scarcity of documents in support of information is a common characteristic of specific groups, like maroon. However, the history of these communities has been retold and transmitted by the masters of knowledge of oral tradition, which act as legitimate holders of memory and local knowledge. Whereas the preservation of memory is part of the search for the construction of a social identity, these memories revealed by the masters of these communities constitute the history and memory of the groups set forth therein.
