This paper aims to investigate the establishment of a field of academic history in Brazil, by means of USP’s Revista de História, founded in 1950. Through the contents of the 1950’s issues we identify, in the publication, a period of closeness between professionals coming from the IHGSP and others from the university itself. That points to a transition period between a so-called traditional history and a new professional history in Brazil, already during the 1950’s. It is also possible to sort out the traditional periods of the relationship between the Annales and the so called USP school of History, through the analyses of elements that accompany texts published by French historians and some others published by professors such as Eurípedes Simões de Paula, Eduardo d’Oliveira França and Astrogildo Rodrigues de Mello.
