Abstract

This article presents some considerations about archiving in the context of organizations from the perspective of the elaboration of information products from the process of descriptive representation of information. By understanding that Archivology aims to guide the management of registered organic information (document), whatever the support, archivists will use the production of research tools or services that enable the information flow, consultation of the collection, as well as, the use of information. In this sense, such archival products derive from the process of descriptive representation of information, and among the range of possible products are the guides and inventories, research instruments that aim at the optimization of access to information by users internal and external to the organization. Thus, this article based on a bibliographical review presents how the elaboration of archival information products is done from the descriptive representation process, especially with regard to guides and inventories, necessary tools to improve the processes of retrieval, access and use the information contained in the documents of a file, being a necessary question for the organizations, especially with regard to the processes of decision making.
