Abstract

The archival classification aims firstly, the representation of the context in which the documents are produced, aiming to demonstrate the reasons for their production and not their content. As an indispensable operation to document management, it is materialized in management instruments such as classification plans, which should reflect the functions and activities developed by the institutions, as well as the related documents. In view of this, this paper discusses the importance of classification by functional methodology that reaches the level of document type. We take as a reference the concepts of species and document type as seen by Heloisa Bellotto, in an approach different from that presented by the Spanish archival tradition. We reinforce the need to establish archival classification instruments that represent not only institutional actions but also their documents, considering the need to maintain the context of production over time, especially in digital environments.
