Consórcios públicos e instituições arquivísticas: Em busca de novos arranjos institucionais para municípios brasileiros

Abstract

The subject of this research is the fragility of archival institutions in Brazilian municipalities and the possible institutional arrangements to reduce this problem. The work aims to investigate what other possible alternatives can be adopted to expand archival institutionality within the country's municipalities, with a central focus on inter-municipal consortia. The methodological procedures involve qualitative research, based on documentary research. Likewise, this work seeks to analyze the legislation on archives and public consortia, as well as scientific papers on these topics, in which the forms, advantages and challenges of a public consortium are analyzed, as well as the stages necessary for its execution, but making the exercise of relating them to archival aspects, with the aim of analyzing possible ways in which the public consortium can be applied to archives. In view of this, it is believed that this research has a long way to go, so that, with broader debates, as well as more research into the context, and its applicability in practice, it will be possible to identify whether it has, in fact, been effective in its aims.
