Methodological innovation in records management

applying the Project Management Body of Knowledge to the archives of Lar da Criança Jesus de Nazaré

Abstract

This work presents a methodological proposal, currently under development, for the records management of the historical archival collection of Lar da Criança Jesus de Nazaré. The main objective of the study is to propose a records management methodology based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge, aiming at the organization, preservation, and access to institutional documents produced throughout the institution's history. The research adopts a qualitative approach with an exploratory- descriptive design, grounded in bibliographic and documentary review, and will be empirically validated in a subsequent phase. As a preliminary result, the adapted methodological structure is presented, highlighting the processes, phases, and knowledge areas of the guide, articulated with the archival reality of the institution under study.
