Subsídio para criação de uma política de preservação de documentos no arquivo da empresa Porto e Caminhos de ferro de Moçambique (CFM)

Abstract

The objective of this research was to propose subsidies for the existence of a document preservation policy in the Porto e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique Company Archive. To this end, we also had specific research objectives that were to evaluate the state of the Porto e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique Company Archive; identify the conditions of the physical and environmental space existing in the Porto e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique Company Archive; and identify the profile of professionals who work in the Porto e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique Company Archive. As methodological resources, qualitative and descriptive approaches combined with bibliographic and documentary research were used. Techniques such as questionnaires and observation were also used, with a sample of 10 key employees who work in the Mozambique Railways archive. It is expected that the implementation of a Preservation Policy will be very efficient, even in economic terms. Furthermore, it is intended to be noted that despite some obstacles, it is possible to have more experience and a lot of learning. However, an awareness that there is still a lot to learn, study and research. The world of document preservation should not just be on paper
