This study investigates the potential of the Virgínia Portocarrero archive, at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz. It was donated in life by Portocarrero, a Brazilian nurse and Second World War veteran. The documents include records from her education and training and show evidence of a determination to preserve her memories from the frontline and after the war, in a symbolic battle to record an essentially female story in a characteristically male setting. The archive contains a broad variety of types of historical sources, notably a diary on her participation in the conflict, demonstrating everyday and unusual aspects of her work as a health professional at that dramatic time in human history.
本研究调查了位于奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁兹基金会/奥斯瓦尔多·克鲁兹研究所的弗吉尼亚·波托卡雷罗档案的潜力。该档案是由巴西护士、二战老兵波托卡雷罗生前捐赠的。这些文件包括她的教育和培训记录，显示出她决心在一场象征性的战斗中保留自己在前线和战后的记忆，这场战斗旨在在以男性为主的环境中记录一个本质上属于女性的故事。该档案包含各种各样的历史资料，特别是一本关于她参与冲突的日记，展示了在人类历史上那个戏剧性时期，她作为一名卫生专业人员工作的日常和不同寻常的方面。
