This article has a brief history of MERCOSUR and MERCOSUR Cultural, the responsible entity for promoting and disseminating the cultural values and traditions of the countries of the bloc. The study proposed to investigate the actions of MERCOSUR Cultural with a view to the preservation of bibliographic documentary heritage. Following a qualitative approach, it made use of bibliographical and documentary revisions for theoretical construction. The results of the research demonstrate that culture, in general, has not occupied a prominent position in the actions and initiatives of MERCOSUR. The presence of this gap shows the need to stimulate studies and research concerning the search for integration among countries, giving due consideration to cultural issues, bringing to the fore the importance of studies aimed at preserving and valuing the cultural heritage of nations.
