Archival Science

The essential objective of the course is to put the student in the context of document management in the digital environment. For this, in addition to the processes of knowing the specific regulations and the essentials of technical management of documents and archives, students will be presented with the possibility of facing risk situations and decision-making in complex moments of the administration and management of documentary funds in environments hybrid and purely digital. The deficient adaptation of management systems to a new virtual, electronic and, by extension, digital reality, entails the need, therefore, to know both environments and achieve maximum efficiency in whatever situation it is to, ultimately, comply with the essential objective of whatever the fund, will act as document managers.
