This article consists an bibliographic review abd sharing reflections that have crossed my own training and trajectory as a dance historian who conducts research from a specific location, Brazil. Dance archives in Brazil (always plural) show considerably different characteristics and modus operandi from one another, making every relation between artists and documents and/or between academic researchers and documents rather peculiar. Although the proposal may seem localised, I think there is a potential for generalising the debates proposed herein, since they acknowledge something that frequently transverses historic texts, opinions from artists and articles on dance studies, both in Brazil and internationally, which consist of handling the archive itself as a referent for a discourse that can aspire truth and provides a material link to the past.
