Sistema de gestão de documentos e políticas públicas arquivísticas: o caso da administração pública federal brasileira

Abstract

This study investigates the processing of actions originated from the public archival policies in the universe of the Brazilian federal public administration. It is an explanatory and documental research based on a quantitative approach. As a theoretical support, it inserts the Theory of Systems of Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in the archival context, examining its relation with the development of public records management and the implementation of public policies in the sector. In addition, it conceptualizes “system”, “system of archives”, “public policies”, “public archival policies” and “records management”. It presents a panorama of the attempts to install the National System of Archives (SINAR) in Brazil, in three distinctive moments as antecedents to the Records Management of System (SIGA). It also follows the guidelines of SIGA and CONARQ as public archival policies and their influence in the activities of records management in the Federal Public Administration. Finally, this research leads to the conclusion that despite being essential, the technical tools of records management require other apparatus for the development of records management programs and the lack of public archival policies is one of the inhibitor factors of this process.
