title: [Alternative sources for a history of sciences].
abstract: In this study we call attention to the importance of Manguinhos' scientific collections, which preserve a major portion of the memory of scientific practice as developed by Brazilian researchers in the field of biomedical sciences. We make use of these collections to approach some little-known aspects of scientific activity: the historical evaluation of forms of zoological classification and efforts as legitimating scientific practice.
