Desvios informacionais nos arquivos: incitando discussões

Abstract

Informational deviations are discussed, relating them in the context of the archives. Methodologically, this research is characterized as being descriptive and exploratory, having a qualitative and bibliographic approach. An overview of the archives as testimonies of facts and actions is presented, in addition to pointing out, in a second moment, informational deviations experienced in society. Through this, it is noted how the activities of classification, evaluation, description, applied to archives, are subject to possible deviations. It is pointed out that ethics is a step to avoid the manipulation of records and data, as well as how essential it is to have a more critical view of the professional who is in front of the files, through the recognition of skills and competence. It is concluded that the archives can be manipulated, as they are reflections of human actions, and should, with these inferences, to another extent, weave future research to deepen on deviations and more specific strata in the field of Archival Science.
