Mediation in Archives: Organization, Classification and Transparency

: It discusses the role of mediation in archives and the use of technology in supporting the process. As a central issue we investigate how the organization of the archives is related to a set of functions that aim, in the final analysis, to grant the user access and, in the case of collections of historical value, to enable future generations to access the past. The general objective is to present research results that relate to three pillars of the process developed within the scope of the information units, with an emphasis on the archival context: organization, classification and transparency. As a method, we use the analysis of a site of historical value and a govern-mental adherence process for the implementation of digital administrative processes. Our result shows that these initiatives were only possible due to the role of mediation in archives as a pillar for the organization of knowledge.
