Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide basic theoretical knowledge about archives in the phase of their formation, as well as the treatment of historical archives, linking the principles of archival tradition to the new context determined by the evolution of information and communication technologies. It also offers an opportunity for contact with historical documentation both as a first approach to the problems of historical research in the archive. The course also aims to introduce the historical evolution of the archive as an institute or archives intended not only as a system of theoretical principles but also as a material tradition of organization and conservation of documentation and to refine the knowledge of the mechanisms of production of the documents and to verify the evolutionary stages of the protection legislation developed over time.
