Memória institucional da UFPB: o arquivo da Faculdade de Medicina da Paraíba (1952-1954)

Abstract

The information society requires people and institutions to have structural conditions and skills to acquire information. Institutions, especially those responsible for making them available, adapt their activities to achieve this purpose. In this way, archives, as part of these institutions and, throughout history, have contributed to the preservation of their memories. In this study, we seek to highlight information as an intermediate component between people in this society, favoring changes in the way of being and how institutions structure their actions. The research is of a qualitative nature, the method used is the documentary research with the objective of a holistic analysis seeking also to apprehend the details of the sociocultural and territorial moment. Thirty analyzed sessions of the Administrative Technical Council of the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Paraíba were analyzed with the Archive as a means of communicating past experiences pertinent to a context of competences, methods, economics and even territory, factors that individualize an institution in its time chronological and in your locality. This situation admits to elucidating the meaning of the narrated paths.
