The main contemporary debates in the field of History teaching instigate the significant connections between the present and the past, in order to provide dialogic and constructive experiences of historiographic research applied in the teaching of History. In view of this find-ing, the present article aims to discuss the importance of the quilombola socio-historical research trajectory in Cabula, in the city of Salvador, Bahia, and its re-sults for the development of a 3D virtual museum, as well as how to demonstrate the potential of its application in the teaching of History. To this end, we will use as a theoretical basis the movement of public history in a socio-constructivist approach, which proposes an under-standing and historical awareness based on the resolution of problems of an applied nature.
