Geraldo Queiroz is considered one of the most important artists of Uberlândia in the twentieth century. The wall paintings made in the Market Hall and the artist s mosaics spread in different buildings of the city and region are among his most prominent works. However, the Public Archives of Uberlândia holds a large collection of Geraldo Queiroz s works made on paper. Due mainly to the precarious storage conditions for several years, many of these works are in a relatively high state of degradation. Through this research we try to catalog the entire collection of the artist belonging to ArPU, survey the initial state of conservation of each work and, finally, implement intervention procedures aimed at prolonging the lifetime of the artist\'s works. Considering that conservation is aimed at minimizing possible damage that can affect an artwork, it helps in the preservation of cultural heritage maintaining accessible the original material for the art historian, without which there can be no written history and no reflection on the work of art. Thus, treatment of the works of Geraldo Queiroz is an important action for the maintenance of this collection.
