Toe objective of the work was to diffuse the archaeological collection to strengthen the memory and social use of the cultural heritage of the Puruhá people, through digital photogrammetry performed with the Agisoft Metashape software and the creation of a Storymap using the ArcGIS Storymaps tool, proposing a methodology with a qualitative app roach, descriptive in scope, from a theoretical and practica! perspective with the help of secondary information and field work. The main results allowed the elaboration of the photogrammetry through the prior evaluation of the state of conservation of the archaeological pieces with the implementation and adaptation of the conservation sheet, allowing the creation of a Storymap for cultural diffusion. It was identified that the state of conservation of the archaeological pieces shows that 100% are in conditions classified as regular and are already exposed to externa! factors that can affect the cultural objects. According to the analysis carried out, it is concluded that this research work offers a deeper understanding ofthe importance ofthese results, having important implications forthe conservation and diffusion of the historical memory of the cultural heritage of the Puruhá people.
