Abstract

Objective: To present a study on the process of conceiving, developing, and implementing the Petrus Institutional Repository at Colégio Pedro II, officially launched in December 2024, highlighting its importance for the preservation, dissemination, and visibility of the institution’s intellectual output. Methodology: A descriptive and analytical study, based on a discussion of the conceptual foundations of institutional repositories and their relationship with Open Science and Open Access, as well as an analysis of the challenges faced by the institution over a decade of attempts, the strategies adopted by the responsible Working Group, and the results achieved after implementation. Results: The main institutional difficulties that were overcome were identified, along with the strategies employed to make the repository feasible and the progress achieved in consolidating an environment focused on preserving and disseminating Colégio Pedro II’s intellectual output. Conclusion: The Petrus Institutional Repository reaffirms the institution’s commitment to preserving institutional memory and democratizing access to knowledge, strengthening practices aligned with the principles of Open Science and Open Access.
