A utilização do software livre ICA-AtoM para descrever o acervo iconográfico do Sindicato dos Empregados em Estabelecimentos Bancários de Rio Grande

Abstract

The Union of Employees in Banking Establishments Rio Grande (SEEBRG) was founded on April 05 of the year 1933, since then achieved numerous accomplishments for its members. Many of these fights are recorded in the photographic collection of the institution. The SEEBRG has the current file (individual room of directors), intermediate (awaiting evaluation and treatment), and permanent, the latter being formed by textual and iconographic documents . Due to the wealth of recorded images opted for the photographic collection as the focus of research. Precariousness in its state of preservation and storage, the collection was not being made available . So, as the most important is the dissemination of photographs, we used the ICA- AtoM software to describe them. The entire file has 1320 photos, but only the images of the documentary series Campaign Salary and Greve that currently have 206 photographs were described . With the description was possible to present the features of the ICA- AtoM software, standardize the description of the photographs according to the rules, enable rapid and efficient access, and reduce handling of the original photographs. So, trying to avoid more damage than those caused by time and poor maintenance. Being a practical, applied and qualitative, it was necessary to understand the whole institution and as the iconographic collection is housed. It was also crucial undertake the literature on archival description, use of standards and the ICA- AtoM software. The use of the ICA- AtoM software was efficient for storage and description of the agreement with the proposed objectives of images.
