Document management, archives, institutional memory
This paper deals with documentary management at the Federal University of Cariri - UFCA. To do so, we have done a literature review on the subject in order to contextualize historically the facts and the relevance of the GD from the beginnings to the days in the information society, passing on topics such as management and documentary treatment, encompassing historical / chronological concepts , laws and archival practices, and also the concept of memory with an institutional approach. The general objective of the work is to investigate the procedures of the documentary management of the students of the Federal University of Cariri, encompassing the procedures of documentary production to the archiving of data, both physical and digital. Our specific objectives are: to evaluate the production, use and archiving of documents; to compare if the methods used in the Archiving are in accordance with the guidelines of the official legislation and norms and, finally, to prepare a Reference Guide for the elaboration of the UFCA Document Management Plan: archiving of physical data. The latter is the final product of the dissertation. We work with the assumption that the institution does not yet have internal regulations that regulate its DG and guide the methods of archiving its documents, preserving its institutional memory in the public, individual and collective interests. The research is justified by the fact that all public institutions have the duty to preserve their institutional memory and guarantee access to information for all who need it, as well as: to facilitate the retrieval of information, to assist the institution's decision-making and to avoid the unnecessary accumulation of papers. As for the methodological procedures, the research is descriptive, exploratory and with a qualitative approach. The data collection was developed empirically through structured interviews applied to two groups of servers in strategic sectors of the UFCA, the directly wanted them with the documentary production / filing. The discussion of the results focused on the analysis of the discourses without losing sight of our research assumption, also dialoguing with authors of articles / books on the subject. As a result of our investigation, we conclude that the UFCA GD is not internally standardized and that each sector of the institution carries out its archiving in isolation with the material resources available to them. In this way, we elaborate our final product mentioned above to contribute with the documentary management of the Federal University of Cariri.
