Analyses the archivistic functions of classification, evaluation and description as integrated procedures within the Municipal Prefecture of Porto Alegre (Prefeitura Municipal de Porto Alegre – PMPA). Uses as research technique the content analysis of the regulations of the Archives System of Porto Alegre, minutes of the Permanent Commission of Document Evaluation, and accompaniment reports of the implantation of the archivistic management of documents. Concludes that the work of the archivist should start early with the document production, including the treatment for current archives users. Considers that the PMPA archivistic legislation has elements that characterizes it as follower of integrated archivistics. Says that, should the management instruments be correctly applied, the classification and evaluation functions can be considered as descriptive levels, as the PMPA document collection will keep its organicity. Recommends the elaboration of a standardized model for the descriptive process that is implemented since the document production.
