A preservação e conservação de acervos musicais: estudo no arquivo da Orquestra Sinfônica Municipal de João Pessoa – PB

Abstract

The Archives are essential in the process of organization and conservation of information, whatever your support is. For orchestras is no different, because their operation depends entirely on the effectiveness of activities in your archives. This study aims to verify whether there are measures of preservation and conservation of the parties and scores of the Municipal Symphony Orchestra of João Pessoa – OSMJP collection. This is a descriptive and exploratory research and presents qualitative approach to the analysis of results. It was used an interview with the archive employee as a tool for collecting data. The results shows that are not properly used the preservation and conservation techniques to the OSMJP archive, that there are problems in the archive installation and that the employees do not receive training to handle documents. Was concluded that the lack of implementation of appropriate techniques to the parties and scores generates damage that can permanently harm the documents, being necessary measures to safeguard the documents (parts and scores) that make part of the orchestra collection.
