The representation of information in Archival Science is understood as a
process of organization consisting of several phases, among them: appraisal,
classification and description. It focuses on representation focusing on the
activity of archival description, since it recognizes that this, being a research
activity and that seeks, in the detail of the content and the documentary context,
represent the information contained in archives using research instruments, and
needs to be appropriated by reality of the archives in the public and private
scope of these. In this way, the purpose of this research is to verify the
possibility of obtaining theoretical and methodological parameters, through the
CIA (International Council of Archives) and CONARQ (National Council of
Archives) with a view to proposing political guidelines of description. It has as
specific objectives to analyze theoretically and conceptually the concept of
description in Archivology; present the CIA and CONARQ, as well as their
respective publications concerning the archival description and identify
theoretical-conceptual and practical elements capable of subsidizing the
creation of description policies in archives. Qualitative research, of a
documentary nature and descriptive orientation, initiated by exploring the
literature of the literature concerning the themes through books and databases,
by the descriptors: "archival representation", "archival description", "standards
of description", "policies archives” and the CONARQ and CIA websites. The
results reveal a range of normative products and instructions that can provide
support and support for the development of policy guidelines in file descriptions.
It is concluded, according to the results, the archival description, seen from the
perspective of information representation and underpinned by policies of
archival description is a kind of facilitator for the organization and representation
in files, and does not signify an end in itself.
