Abstract
A documentação de arquitetura à guarda em instituições arquivísticas conheceu nas últimas décadas um impulso significativo em Portugal, com especial nota para os arquivos de arquitetos. Tal situação coloca um conjunto de problemas e desafios considerando a natureza particular destes arquivos, a sua especificidade e diversidade documental. O presente trabalho aborda os processos de tratamento arquivístico adotados num conjunto de instituições que têm à sua guarda este tipo de documentos. Mais concretamente pretende-se avaliar em que medida as estratégias seguidas refletem as condições específicas desta documentação. Apesar de existirem progressos assinaláveis no tratamento destes arquivos nos últimos anos, verifica-se a ausência de procedimentos normalizados e o foco centra-se preferencialmente sobre os documentos de desenho.
The architecture records held in archival institutions have seen a significant boost in Portugal in recent decades, with a special note for the architects’ archives. This situation poses a set of problems and challenges considering the nature of these archives, their specificity and documentary diversity. The present work approaches the archival treatment processes adopted in a
group of institutions that have this type of documents in their custody. More particularly, it is intended to assess the extent to which the strategies followed reflect the specific conditions of this documentation. Despite the progress, persist an absence of standardized procedures and the documentation treatment has been centered on design records.
