Políticas de preservação digital: estudo de caso em escritório de advocacia de Porto Alegre/RS

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a survey carried out in a law office in Porto Alegre / RS, which analyzes the digital preservation policies used for the computerization and digitization of its collection of documents. The research is characterized as descriptive and it is a case study. Data collection took place through an interview with the head of IT, an attorney and archivist. Qualitative analysis was performed by comparing the procedures used in the office Cabanellos Schuh / Law Firm with the principles of digital preservation, appearing in the document authored by Humberto Innarelli - "archival contemporary themes: Digital Preservation" (2009). In concluding the study on digital preservation policies adopted in Cabanellas Schuh Office / Associates, we can affirm that the ten commandments of digital preservation as suggested by Innarelli (2009) are seen in the office part in the study. It is believed that the company is on track, constantly searching for the improvement of hardware, software, backups, media and migration, developing its digital preservation process.
