A difusão arquivística na produção científica: um estudo a partir dos anais do Congresso Nacional de Arquivologia (2004-2018)

Abstract

This work had as a research theme the archival diffusion in the scientific production in Archivology, with the objective of presenting, through the investigation of the annals of Congresso Nacional de Arquivologia (CNA) (2004-2018), a portrait of which has been the scientific production in Archivology that involves archival diffusion. It is a research of applied nature, quanti-qualitative, exploratory, with the use of documentary sources and instrument of data collection. The papers published in the annals of the CNA editions investigated were delimited by the search for the term 'diffusion' and or variants in their titles and especially keywords. As a result, 33 papers (6.06%) of the 544 published by the CNA in the eight already made editions refer to archival diffusion; it was analyzed in them that the understanding and use of archival diffusion is sometimes complex, involving aspects such as communication, marketing, users, access, research instruments, and think the diffusion also linked to topics such as documentary management and preservation, cultural and documentary heritage, special archives, accessibility and, increasingly, the Web and the digital medium. The investigated papers also present several methodological approaches, highlighting quanti-qualitative, bibliographic and exploratory. The references of Brazilian, Spanish and Canadian nationality are the most used by the authors of the works, and Heloísa Liberalli Bellotto, Ramón Alberch i Fugueras, Jean-Yves Rousseau and Carol Couture, and Carlos Blaya Perez are the most requested. With this study, we visualized new possibilities of investigation and the understanding that the archival diffusion contributes to the social function of the archives: its projection and insertion in society.
