Políticas de preservação documental em arquivos históricos do estado da Paraíba

Abstract

The state of Paraíba begins its history in Brazil-Colony and therefore carries a lot of information recorded in its documents, produced and accumulated over the years. In this way, the present research intends to verify and problematize the existence of document preservation policies of the Archive of the Casa de José Américo Foundation and of the Historical Archive Waldemar Bispo Duarte, as both have relevant documents for Paraíba history that are under the tutelage of the State. In addition, also check the commitment of the Public Archive of the State of Paraíba - APEPB for the establishment of public preservation

policies. Methodologically, the research will be bibliographic and field, through a semi- structured interview with the managers of the archives. The FCJA Archive has collections of

ex-governors and Paraiba personalities, but they do not have document preservation policies and the preservation measures are trivial. The same is true of the Waldemar Bispo Duarte Historical Archive, in addition to the urgent need for trained professionals in restoration. Finally, the Public Archive of the State of Paraíba, which is committed to promoting preservation and conservation policies for the documents that were produced and for those that will be produced. However, APEPB needs, first of all, to regulate itself, in order to be able to act effectively in terms of documentary preservation of State collections.
