RESUMO

This dissertation studies the sending of mineral samples to the World s Fair between the London Fair in 1862 and the Turim Fair in 1911. Our hypothesis is that the participation at the World s was part of the efforts to recuperate and develop the mining sector in Brazil. With three different phases, the Brazilian participation at the World s Fair passed by expressive changes since the first participations during the Empire Gouvernement; at the Fairs that happened during the transition of the Empire to Republic; and finally at the Fairs between 1901 and 1911. We will emphasize the services developed by the Brazilian commissaries of mining sections that represented the Brazil, realized at the beginning by individuals with relations with Imperial Gouvernement. At the next World s Fair this job was developed by mining engineers of the Mining School of Ouro Preto. Other aspect to be approached are the different types of catalogues with informations about the samples of minerals organized to the World s Fair and the services of mining periodicals like Revista Industrial de Minas Geraes and Brazilian Engineering and Mining Review since the Brazilian preparation for this events. Finally, we will emphasize the networks that involved faculties and universities, commercial museums, geographical societies, and the publications about the Brazil elaborated by Brazilians or foreigner that figured at the World s Fair
