Work

Archeology

Edgardo was part of archeological missions to Israel and Iran for the French National Centre for Scientific Research. [1] Amongst his contributions to the Museum of Archeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo are 12 items from Elam (1971–1972), [2] 231 objects from Iran, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia (1973) [3] and Mediterranean items (1987). [4]

In the 70s, Edgardo went to Mexico, Peru and Ecuador for the University of Michigan. [1] There, he helped to conduct zooarchaeological studies about camelids, and he theorized sedentism happened in the region due hunt of the local species. [5] He, Wheler Pires and Ramiro Matos Mendieta helped to create the laboratories of paleoethnobotany and paleozoology and the national archeology program from the National University of San Marcos. [6] [7]

Genealogy

Edgardo is also known on the field of genealogy. His interest on the field began in 1981, when he returned from Brazil after working for the University of Michigan. He found several documents from his grandfather, Fernando Pires Ferreira Filho, and got interested for the usefulness of genealogy on Brazil's history. His work was encouraged by the History department of University of São Paulo, and he finished compiling his first book of the Pires Ferreira family in four years. [8] His book is called A Mística do Parentesco: Uma Genealogia Inacabada: Domingos Pires Ferreira e Sua Descendência and it is currently on the 6th volume. [9] The 5th volume, A Mística do Parentesco: Os Castello Branco e Seus Entrelaçamentos Familiares: Francisco da Cunha Castello Branco e Sua Descendência (2008), is a work about the Castello Branco family. [10] He categorized more than 36 thousand family members from Pires Ferreira and Castello Branco families and his work is considered a refecence for historical and genealogical studies. [11] [12] [13] [14]

He is a corresponding partner from the Historical, Geographical and Genealogical Institute of Sorocaba and a full member of the Brazilian College of Genealogy since July 1988, [1] where he occupies the chair no. 8. [15]

Other contributions

Edgardo has also contributed to the book A Literatura de Barras do Marataoã (2023), from Nelson Nery, [16] and donated correspondences from Renina Katz, Anna Letycia, Thereza Mirand and Lena Cecilia Bergstein for the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador. [17]

He was also the president of São Paulo Biennial Foundation from 1992 to 1994. [1] Afterwards, he worked as a counselor, but he and other 5 people renounced on 27 June 2000, as, according to them, in practice the foundation was controlled by only four people. [18]
