Historiadores, arquivos e o advento da Internet : desafios e potencialidades

Abstract

Throughout history it is possible to perceive the importance of archives for the collective memory and for the work of the historian. However, it is understood that the relationship between documents and historians is not natural, but built according to the period in which we live. In this way, documents and their archiving bring an infinity of possibilities and challenges to the work of the historian. Thus, the present work aims to analyze the relationship between archives and historians, specifically with the advent of the Internet and digital archives. In the study, we intend to point to the possibilities of working with digital files, approaching potentialities and difficulties. To this end, we hope to systematize part of the knowledge produced through a bibliographic survey and the synthesis of knowledge. In addition, we carried out documentary research using as a source the document produced by the Conselho Nacional de Arquivos (Brazil): "e-ARQ Brasil: Modelo de Requisitos para Sistemas Informatizados de Gestão Arquivistica de Documentos". Thus, we hope to contribute to the reflections on digital archives and the historian's craft.
