Intervenções arquivísticas na massa documental acumulada do Centro de Educação da Universidade Federal da Paraíba: relato de experiência

Abstract

This article aims to present the accumulated documentary mass of the Centro de Educação (CE) of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), making an archival diagnosis in order to enable planning for the implementation of document management in the CE. The interest in this study arose due to the non-mandatory curricular internship undertaken from June 2018 to May 2019, highlighting the importance for the execution of the archival methods and procedures necessary for the effective management of the accumulated documentary masses. The problem of accumulated documentary masses is the great challenge for archivist professionals, since part of the higher education institutions present in their collections an absence of archival treatments. It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach characterized by participant research elaborated as an experience report, collecting information in order to gather data for the construction of the structural organization chart of the EC. The experience report is a fundamental experience for professional growth because it allows describing a given experience with applied actions that is also relevant when contributing to Archivology. In this case, the experience report makes it possible to contribute in some way to the Centro de Educação. Thus, it is concluded that it is necessary that institutions are attentive to the importance of document management and understand the relevance of applying it throughout the life cycle of documents, precisely in their creation.
