A trajetória do paleontólogo Frederico Waldemar Lange (1911-1988) e a história das Geociências

Abstract

The person of Frederico Waldemar Lange (1911-1988) is the center of many information contained in the Collection of the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Lab of Ponta Grossa State University - UEPG. Lange gathered, in an organized, detailed and meticulous way, a rich material which embraces a group of relations in different levels, such as geographical, biological, historical, territorial and regional references. The Collection organization itself and the relationships among the different types of documentation with the History of Geoscience reveal part of the intellectual trajectory of this paleontologist. Thus, this dissertation aims to describe the trajectory of Lange and his participation in the scientific field, in regional and national contexts of the twentieth century, to history of Geosciences through the reading of his personal collection.
