Representação descritiva da informação arquivística: proposta de descrição de medalhas no Acervo José Simeão Leal

Abstract

This research aimed to propose the descriptive representation of three - dimensional documents, specifically the medals received by José Simeão Leal (JSL). For this, it sought to analyze the most relevant archival description norms for the area; Apply standards of representation to describe three-dimensional documents in personal archives, and elaborate the metadata for the descriptive representation of the medals. This is an exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, for which data collection techniques were used for observation and documentary analysis. As a data collection instrument, a documentary descriptive form was elaborated, consisting of metadata, used in the descriptive representation of each medal. In order for the metadata delimitation to be done in order to represent the threedimensional documents, recommendations followed by established descriptive representation standards, such as ISAD (G), NOBRADE and AACR2, followed. References to the descriptive representation of the information, archival description and personal archive of Bellotto (2006), Camargo and Goulart (2007), Schellenberg (2005), Santos (1999) and others were used. On the life and the collection of JSL, the study refers to the considerations of Oliveira (2009). The descriptive representation of three-dimensional objects (medals), within the scope of the José Simeão Leal Archive (AJSL), aimed to contribute to facilitate its access and use and keep alive the memory of its owner, considering the important contribution given by José Simeão Leal to Brazilian culture.
