The current work suggests a discussion on how organizations are using institutional content and speech should take place enlarging scope and strategic use of memories. Furthermore, brings to light aspects of the emotional dimension of the company´s memory, identifying though brief analysis the intent and emotional response imbedded in the memory speech. This is a quality focus research, based on Speech Analysis methodology, that brings together the perspectives of Dominique Maingueneau and Patrick Charaudeau. The mapping of the resources presents the theoretical perspectives on memory and its different approaches (individual, collective, social, institutional); communication and organizational culture, identification, perception, and value: emotional response, and the organizational speech. Studying the so called Espaço Memória Banrisul puts in place an effort that targets the understanding of the connections between memory speech and the company´s communication practices in what regards company´s memory. It also uncovers the speech strategies used to communicate a memory and emotional response they trigger on the audience. It is expected that, by the end of this research, relevant considerations can be presented to professional on Social Communication and Public Relation.
