Three people who lived with Renato Soeiro, whether professionally and/or in their personal life, were interviewed: Vera Soeiro (daughter and former IPHAN employee), Felipe Soeiro Chaimovich (grandson, art critic and professor) and Paulo Ormindo de Azevedo (retired professor and researcher). For such interviews, different scripts were modified according to the specificity of each interviewee, but with some key questions in common, seeking to understand mainly Soeiro s relationship with the military regime and the cause of his possible erasure from IPHAN s history.  a1808-1967
