Magazines: Behind the scenes of the MUB3 Reference Center

With over 100,000 documents, including minutes, cash books, testimonies, commemorative objects and photographs, the MUB3 collection portrays the history of the stock exchanges and the Brazilian capital market.

In this exhibition, we will explore the collection of magazines that are sources of information on the main economic events, trends and technical references for the capital market.

The magazine, published from 1967 to 1989, was an initiative of Bolsa de Valores do Rio de Janeiro. The publication had several editorial sections, including the "Stock Exchange Notebook", with technical analyses, and the "Weekly Summary", with the main market events.

From 1985 to 2008, the magazine was launched with the purpose of disseminating the culture and dynamics of the futures market. With technical articles, market analyses and an editorial written by the president of the Exchange, Resenha provided a comprehensive view of the sector.

Published between 1993 and 2008, it featured a broad editorial, from technical articles to interviews with market figures.  The highlight was the “Stock Market Stories” section, produced by the Bovespa Memory Center, which featured interesting facts about the history of the capital market.

The technical treatment begins with analysis of the magazines, such as checking titles, dates, editions and other relevant information.

Cleaning is a process that aims to prevent deterioration and damage caused by dirt, promoting the longevity of documents.

Packaging creates layers of protection against degradation factors such as dirt, humidity and light. For magazines, we use polywave boxes with appropriate dimensions and specific identification.
