ARCHIVOLOGY AND THE LATO SENSU POSTGRADUATE COURSE AT UFPB

Abstract

The history of archivology in Paraíba passes through the Center of Documentation and Information of Regional History of the Federal University of Paraíba, from the 1970s, either for its action in the organization of archives or in the training of staffs through extension courses and specialization. In the 1990s, the Center held three lato sensu postgraduate courses (specialization) in organization of archives, attending a clientele made up of professionals from various areas and self-taught professionals who operated, or wished to operate, in current and permanent archives. The main points discussed here refer to the general aspects of the courses, such as curricular structure, professors and students, partnerships and results. After almost 30 years, review this experience is a unique moment to meditate about educational and cultural policies in different historical contexts.
