<p class="western" lang="en-US" align="justify">Princesa Isabel, a municipality located in the backwoods of Paraíba state, Brazil, has a vast historical wealth and carries an inheritance from the striking periods of the past, such as historical buildings, records of the 1930’s Revolt and the cultural traditions of its people. The rescue and preservation of its history strengthens the identity of the people in their own territory, however, the Paraíba state still needs investments in the sector to modernize the way of registration of its cultural heritage. Based on the technologies currently available, with emphasis to the geoprocessing, it is appropriate to use collaborative mapping techniques to record and share information, with a goal to the preservation and dissemination of history. Because it is a constantly evolving technology, a simple, free and practical solution is presented through the use of GIS Cloud and smartphone as equipment to collect geo-referenced data. Therefore, the objective of this work was to map the cultural heritage of Princesa Isabel (PB) using a smartphone and applications capable of executing the geoprocessing for collecting, storing, managing and sharing georeferenced data. The dynamic maps produced provide information synthesized in a user-friendly interface that makes navigation easier to any user. These maps are shared in Google My Maps. Thus, a secure record about the cultural heritage of the municipality was reached, whereby the technology employed proved to be timely, practical, cheap and accessible.</p>
