O olhar diante do arquivo e do arquivista

Abstract

The research focuses on the perception of the archive and the archivist, from the perspective of other professionals, graduates and postgraduates. As a methodological approach, the accomplishment of the research adopted a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, characterizing itself as exploratory, descriptive and case study. As a data collection instrument, the questionnaire was used. From the responses of 21 people, we can identify that few have a notion of archiving, and of what is information, of their strategic importance, and therefore do not recognize the archivist as a dynamic professional, necessary, active in all areas of management, and we can also see that in most companies there is no archivist.
