Um centro de memória e os desafios da gestão de documentos: caso do Centro de Memória da Fundação Dom Cabral

Abstract

The article explores the potential of archival identification for the development of document management tools, focusing on a portion of the collection under the custody of the Memory Center of the Dom Cabral Foundation (Memória FDC) as the field of application. To do so, it contextualizes the Dom Cabral Foundation (FDC) and the Memória FDC. Regarding methodology, the development of management tools is examined through the lens of archival identification, based on document analysis to identify the producingbody, its functions, its activities, and the resulting types of documents. Additionally, interviews with institution staff were conducted. As a result, a proposal for a classification scheme and a retention schedule is presented. The conclusions indicate the viability of the methodology for the development of management tools and reinforce the strategic nature of corporate memory centers as support entities for the administration and preservation of the archives of the institutions to which they are affiliated.
