Why this record matters
“Pan American School of Bahia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, American, School and Bahia provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q104215580. Authority coordinates are -12.956, -38.401. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1960 and 1974.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
