A dispersão de arquivos de pessoas como estratégias de preservação e acesso: o arquivo de Rubim Santos Leão de Aquino

Abstract

This article is part of the research developed in 2022 in the Cultural Heritage Preservation and Management Program of Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz. It aimed to investigate the phenomenon of dispersion in people’s archives deposited in memory spaces. To analyse, we had as object of study Rubim Santos Leão de Aquino’s archives (1929-2013), history professor, whose collection was fragmented into parcels and destined to different entities, such as the Study Program, Documents Education and Society – Proedes, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. To achieve this purpose, we carried out an exploratory study on the dispersion in people's archives, collected the biographical data of the producer and the archives, identified the actors involved and listed the destination criteria. The result achieved was the mapping of the places that received the documentation with the elaboration of the collection's dispersion cartography.
