Created on December 10, 1970, by Law No. 5,647, the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) predates this date, originating from the merger of the School of Law, established in 1934, and the Institute of Sciences and Letters of Cuiabá, established in 1966. Currently, UFMT is one of two federal universities in the state, but for many years, it was the only higher education institution in Mato Grosso, constituting a significant presence in the socioeconomic and cultural landscape not only by placing thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate professionals in the job market, but also through its research and outreach activities. It also holds a significant amount of information regarding its own existence and crucial events and moments in regional and national history.
