This paper aims to analyze how local history is approached by 3rd-grade teachers in elementary schools (Ensino Fundamental) in the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, in 2022. A qualitative research was carried out utilizing bibliographical references related to the teaching of History and the analysis of its sources – books, textbooks, and regulating documents – viewed from the perspective of an evidentiary paradigm and content analysis. The results highlight how local history has been overlooked and loosely explored in History classes.
