This study aimed to make a bibliographic analysis regarding construction of institutional memory from archival documents. The search was carried out in the database of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (capes), using the terms: "archive" + "institutional memory"; "archive" + "organizational memory"; "archive" + "corporate memory". The time frame delimited the period between 2009 and 2018 the areas of applied social sciences and humanities and the areas of knowledge of information science, communication and history were selected. From the results found, fifteen papers were selected for reading and analysis, and the result pointed to the matters of dispute and power, memory and forgetfulness, manipulation and ideological impositions that permeate the construction of memory. In addition to the interdisciplinary nature of the research, it was noticed that the archival documents were fundamental for the production of the theses read. However, more studies are still needed to deepen the theme, highlighting the interdisciplinary character of memory. And, moreover for the development of methodologies, that use archival documents as a fundamental part for the construction of institutional memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective is to verify the similarities and specificities aimed by the literature for the planning and implementation of digital repositories for archival and library purposes from the Information Science perspective. As the phenomenon of digital transformation in archival records and bibliographic records management occurs, discuss the applications of the theoretical foundations of Archival Science, Library Science, and Information Science in new ways of storing records go deeper into theoretical aspects in the literature of the respective areas which compete support theories applied to digital repositories that have theoretical intersections with Information Science. In this sense, this investigation starts with the following question: "what are the similarities and differences from the point of view of Information Science, the planning and implementation of digital repositories in Archival Science, Library Science?". Therefore, qualitative and bibliographic research was used to elucidate the interdisciplinarity of Information Science to the use of digital repositories for Archival and Library Science. The results suggested similarities between the two types of digital repositories in terms of providing access and, for that, preserving the records, however, archival repositories differ by the necessity to preserve extrinsic elements of archival records.

Analyzing how the theme 'documentary heritage' appears in Information Science journals is the objective of this study. To identify content in the scientific literature, a bibliographic search was carried out in order to retrieve in the Base de dados em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI) the documentary items on this theme. The study focuses on three parameters: a) collecting articles published on documentary heritage in Information Science journals; b) verify which journals are most representative for the archival area; and c) describe the profile of the most productive authors in the analysis of documentary heritage according to their title and institution of origin. It is observed that since 1989 the database has the indication of 272 documentary items, of which 169 (62.13% of the total) fit the parameters established for the accomplishment of this study, that is, the scientific articles of the period from 2010 to 2020. Thus, the research presents the three magazines that most publish on documentary heritage: Ágora - Arquivologia Em Debate, with 21 articles; 'In Question', with 13 items; and „Information & Information", with nine publications.

This article aims to deepen the theoretical-methodological knowledge about Open Archival Information System (OAIS) or open system for archiving information (SAAI), ISO 14721 and NBR 15472, under the optical of Archivist Science. For this, the elements of the resolution Conarq No. 39, of 29 April 2014, together with the model OAIS, defining a minimum set of responsibilities for a file to be called the OAIS file or the reliable Digital archival repository (RDCarch). The OAIS or SAAI is a conceptual model for organization of systems and people focused on preservation and access of long-term documents, and can also encompass other areas of Information Sciences, such as Librarianship and Museology. It seems clear to affirm that in Archivist Science the use of OAIS is consensus for maintaining digital documents in the long term. Therefore, its enlargement can serve to promote interoperability between libraries, archives, museums and other institutions working with digital information. On the other hand, the institutions lack theoretical and practical projects of digital preservation, probably by the lack of skilled professionals to act in the area. Finally, you need to invest in curricular formations that are focused on the preservation of digital information beyond the archive environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It presents a study on the interdisciplinary relationships established between Archival Science and Information Science, based on the prevalence of a common element in both fields of knowledge: the information recorded, delimited within the scope of Archival Science by the concept organic information, also identified as archival information. It is a quantitativequalitative, descriptive research using the content analysis method and as a process of data collection and bibliographic research in two sources: for the construction of the theoretical reference on the terms studied, we used the definitions of classic authors of Information Science and, specifically for the treatment of the definition of organic information, by authors of the new Canadian Archival Science. Subsequently, the articles indexed in the Information Science Periodicals Database (BRAPCI) were listed, using the concepts studied in order to identify their incorporation on the conceptual framework of the area. As a result, we present a survey of the titles identified with the use of both concepts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the first decades of the 21st century a significant development occurred regarding Archival Science as a discipline in various parts of the world, and as a consequence this event stimulated an increase in the production and dissemination of research and scientific knowledge. However, even though the global computer network and the internet have contributed to the communication, dissemination, disposal and/or free access to the publications related to Archival Science in different formats (printed or digital), the English language has become a barrier and persists as a serious impediment to the absorption of archival literature produced worldwide. Aside from the difficulty in understanding scientific articles published in other languages, a lack of terminological consensus in this area remais. Also, the legal, administrative and cultural variations of different countries hinder the dialogue between professionals, professors and the investigations of the scientific discipline itself. Aware of these difficulties, our research group has developed an atypical and innovative pedagogical experience, reported in this article, hoping it will contribute in some way to solve the difficulties experienced in the daily life of students, professors and professionals who work in the area of archives and Archival Science.

The history of the relationship between archival science and information science still remain barely known. The pre-sent study analyzes such issue from a historical perspective by means of a comprehensive and comparative method. In order to accomplish it two journals were chosen: The American Archivist and Arquivo & Administração. These publications belong to the national archival associations in the United States and in Brazil respectively. Thus, the present article identifies the starting point and the way, through official publications, relationships were established with information science. Therefore, it is aimed to identify the specificities of each historical experience and its impact on the configuration of both American and Brazilian archival fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a part of the reflections from a vastranging research project on the path of Archival Science as a scientific discipline in Brazil and its international dialogues. It focuses on the relations of Archival Science with other disciplines, especially in the political-institutional scope, and, particularly, with Information Science in contemporary times. As a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research, it develops through bibliographic and documental studies. Reading works from Sociology and Philosophy, it seeks the historical understanding of classifications of sciences that subsidize the classification of Archival Science in the current Brazilian context. The results show relations of submission of this discipline to Information Science in the classification of knowledge areas in Brazil, caried out by the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), in 1984 and still in force. In a critical perspective, it shows reflections and questions whether that classification considers Archival Science's history, epistemology, theory, and, above all, scientific autonomy, which has been going through consolidation in the last few years.

The proposition of practical solutions for the array of questions related to information access summarizes the objective of Information Science, which unfolds in different contexts of practical applications identified as archives, libraries and museums. The distinction between the different informational spaces does not rely on the difference between documents kept in custody but on the function assigned to them, fruit of different histories and theoretical constructions. This difference in the attributed function of documents corresponds to different working methods: the importance of the identification of the context of creation of the archival document is emphasized. In spite of the different functions assigned to archival, library and museum documents, the organization of access to information remains a common objective, aiming at the construction of bridges between the past and the future, following the example of the roman mythological god Janus, who has two faces: one looking to the past and the other to the future.
