The struggle to liberate the continent of Africa from colonialism during the second half of the twentieth century represented an important epoch and as such this history needs to be documented accurately in whatever form for the benefit of posterity. Liberation struggle archives are of differing types and status, which reflects the diverse nature of the struggle itself. R ecords on the liberat ion struggles in Africa were created from within and outside Africa to document this historic ep och from the 1950s to the 1990s. These records have to be made available to the public for research, scholarship and general interest as they are a treasured na tional asset. In view of the above, it is the mandate of archivists to provide a means f or future generations to access historical sources . The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether liberat ion struggle archives are being offered the continuum of c are throughout their lifecycle in order to make such access possible . Considering that few records were created during the struggle for emancipation notwithstanding their neglect, it is therefore incumbent upon archivists to pres erve the legacy of the libe ration struggle that is contained in those few records that were created. The study used both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. The study used methodological triangulation techniques in order to capture the phenomenon under study in detail. The study’s’ population were the twenty three archival institutions within east and southern Africa, both public and private that is, which generated a response rate of 39%. Due to the fact that the study population was geographically di spersed, the study employed self - administered questionnaires for data gathering . U nstructured interviews and observations were also used in a limited manner . The researcher administ ered an interview schedule to h e a ds of archival institutions within the eas t and s outhern African region. To complement the iii interviewing, an observation schedule was also used to record phenomena at selected archival institutions. T he data collected using qualitative techniques was content analyzed whilst SPSS was used for quanti tative data. The study unearthed some interesting developments. Liberation struggle archives had been identified and the requisite documentation put in place. T h is was evidenced by the restitution of archives which was an ongoing process albeit a problemat ic one. This process gives the overall picture that the liberation struggle was a global event as records are scattered in different parts of the world. The records so created are of varied nature as the media used to capture the record exists in a variety of forms with photographs predominant. The study also discovered that the arrangement of records was being done by qualified personnel, both archivists and manuscript librarians. In their efforts to promote access, most archival institutions employed a co mbination of finding aids with inventories and summary lists mostly used . Furthermore, t he existence of mechanisms, policies and procedures facilitates archival management practices. The present research established that all archival institutions had missi on statements and that th ese explicitly spelt out the mandate of the organizations . F or some institutions, these existed in written format. Formal p olices were generally in existence but were calibrated at various levels depending on an institution’s colle ction priorities. In this instance, the policy pertaining to digitization of liberation struggle archives was held in high regard and this explains why the majority of archival institutions preferred electronic media for duplicate copies . This preference p oints to the increasingly pervasive influence of digital technology. Archival institutions were liberal in their publication requirements though users had to acknowledge the institution as the source. The major challenge in the management of liberation str uggle records was the processing of backlog s . In addition, the study sought to establish whether archival institutions were providing resources in order to promote a n environment conducive to iv prolong ing the useable life of liberation struggle archives. The infrastructure in terms of knowledgeable and skilled personnel was in existence as the need for an academic background from which archival skills could be developed was given priority. The expertise in preservation management was mostly invested i n disast er planning and recovery, holdings maintenance and preservation planning . The research also established that the majority of archival institutions had a visitors ’ register in place al though its administration lacked consistency. The majority of archival in stitutions had air conditioning though maintenance records were non - existent. It was also noted that fumigation was prevalent and that restorative work was being done by the majority of institutions with the traditional technique s being the most popular. Equally important was the need to establish the preservation needs of the surveyed archival institutions. The study reve ale d that digitization was the most wid ely used preservation strategy and the majority of archival institutions had purpose - built storag e. Fire was considered the biggest threat to archival collections and the disaster plan mostly covered records, the physical building and the evacuation of people. Fire detection systems were in place and archival institutions were making use of their resp ective local fire departments to raise fire precautionary awareness and readiness. Security measures were generally in place though the use of Close Circuit Television ( CCTV ) , cameras and alarm systems was not pronounced. Furthermore, the study identified that information communication technologies had a transformative influence on the management of liberation struggle archives. The majority of the institutions were digitizing their collections though there was no written policy for managing these digital records. It was also established that most archival institutions were not migrating their records. Technological obsolescence and lack of resources were considered by most institutions as constituting the major threats to the survival of digital records an d this could be the reason why donor assistance v was sought as evidenced by the state of the art equipment on digitization infrastructure observed in some institutions visited . Equally significant was the revelation that inherent semantic ambiguities existe d in the legislative apparatus of the majority of archival institutions which partly explains why there was much passivity when it came to managing private records. The study further established that the management of private records was not satisfactory a nd areas noted for concern pertained to the arrangement, storage and custody, finding aids and access relating to these records . Finally, the study put forward a number of recommendations that had to be considered in an attempt to help archival institutio ns professionally manage liberation struggle archives , and two are cited here simply because they encapsulat e others . Firstly, the legislative apparatus had to be modernized in order for liberation struggle archives to be taken care of at national and not organizational level as is presently the case. The implication is that the laws that govern the national archives of countries within ESARBICA are wholly inadequate when it comes to the management of the private record. Lastly, the records continuum model formed the theoretical foundation of the study not only because of its holist ic approach, pragmatism and the fact that it is technologically driven but because it dovetailed with the records keeping issues which the study investigated . / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.

檔案館是指一個機構或行政單位負責檔案資料的辦識、鑑定、登錄、保存、編排、描述與提供參考服務。國家檔案館亦可被稱為國家公共檔案館或公共檔案館。它是檔案館的其中一種。由國家各級政府設立並領導，負責接收和管理一定範圍的具有社會和歷史價值的各種檔案，並提供社會利用的重要文化事業機構。 檔案是傳承歷史及人類知識的最佳媒介，檔案管理人員則是手握傳承鑰匙的主要角色，而檔案管理機關則是重要歷史見證者及紀錄者。在臺灣及澳門最高檔案管理機關，對於了解該地區在檔案事業管理及發展上是十分值得研究的對象。檔案行政構在兩地有所不同，筆者對此作比較時會偏向法規、功能以及兩地檔案機關在位階的定位。 透過比較對上述兩地政府機關的體系進行比較研究，比較分析兩地在檔案法、檔案管理行政體制(以檔案管理局與澳門歷史檔案館為研究對象)以及檔案機關之功能任務的異同。冀能了解兩地的檔案管理事業發有何異同之處。 / Archives can be referred to an institution or administrative unit which is responsible for archival identification, appraisal, log in, preservation, arrangement, description and reference service. The National Archives can be also known as the National Public Archives or Public Archives. It is a type of the archives, which is established by the national governments, responsible for various archives with social and historical values, and distributed to fulfil the usage of social and cultural organizations. Archives is the best medium of human knowledge and historical heritage, records management staff are holding the key to a major role in transmission, and archival management institution is an important witness of history and archives holder. By studying about the highest management authority of Archives in Taiwan and Macau, it can help to understand the differences between the region and the development of the Archive Management. Archives administrative structures differ in these two places, this study is focusing on comparing the archival laws, functions and .organization structures of the two places mentioned above. A comparative study of these two archival institutions through the comparison, analyzing the two places in the differences of Archives Act, the administrative management system (National Archives Administration National Development Council and Historical Archives of Macao) and the functional tasks of them can help to deepen understanding the similarities and differences between both parties.

Cette étude analyse l'accueil et l'usage par les professeurs des universités libyennes des périodiques électroniques et des archives ouvertes. Ainsi, elle a pour objectif d'identifier la relation entre, d’un côté, l’usage des périodiques électroniques et des archives ouvertes et, de l’autre, certains facteurs déterminants des conditions sociodémographiques comme le sexe, le domaine de recherche, l’âge et les années d’exercice.Cela se situe dans un contexte particulier à un pays arabe, pays en voie de développement dont l’environnement sociopolitique constitue, à notre sens, une véritable contrainte objective.Afin de répondre à notre problématique, nous avons été amenés naturellement à l’utilisation de la méthode quantitative par questionnaire. Dès lors, 359 professeurs,répartis sur cinq disciplines, ont répondu à nos questionnements.Il était donc question de comprendre la relation entre la discipline que les enseignants universitaires libyens exercent et leur usage des TIC, les préférences des utilisateurs de périodiques électroniques, leur attitude vis-à-vis des inconvénients et avantages de celles-ci,la connaissance des utilisateurs concernant le libre accès et enfin l'état de l'art sur les bénéfices des sources en libre accès.Enfin, les résultats de cette étude réactualisent nos connaissances sur les pratiques enseignantes des professeurs libyens et débouchent sur des applications intéressantes. / This study analyses mind agreement and use of electronic journals and open archivesmade by Libyan universities teachers. So, it aims identification of relationship between, onone hand, the use of electronic journals and open archives and, on second hand, any very important factors, and parts from socio-demographic conditions as gender, Research domain, age and number of practice years.It was developed in a particular context, i.e. in an Arabic country, in way of development, in which socio-politic environment is constitutive, as we think, of a true limiting factor.In the aim of giving answers to this problem, we naturally were led to use quantitative method based on questionnaire. So, 359 teachers, scattered on five disciplines,gave answers to our questionnaire.So, the subject was to understand relationship between the specialty that Libyan university teachers are operating in and their use of TIC, the preferences of electronic journals users, their comportments when encountering any advantages or disadvantages of these journals they use, the users knowledge about open access, and, last topic, the state of the art about benefits due to open access sources. Finally, the results of this study give us new and recent knowledge on teaching practices of Libyan University teachers and open on interesting appliances.

The service sector of the global economy is undoubtedly growing and increasingly highlighting the criticality of service quality to enhanced profitability in most service organisations. The demand for accountability from different stakeholders, including clients, has also made service quality a highly debated, researched and most powerful competitive trend shaping marketing and business strategy. Developing reliable measurement instruments of service quality and strategies for the improvement of service quality invariably become the most important responsibilities for managers in many organisations. In the absence of conceptual clarity on service quality, divergent views on the dimensionality of service quality and the lack of a psychometrically valid service quality measure in archival institutions, this study set out to develop and subsequently validate a measurement instrument to assess service quality in an archival institutional setting. The two research questions investigated in this study were: (1) what are the dimensions for measuring service quality in archival institutions, and (2) how can the dimensions of service quality in archival institutions be measured effectively. The methodology for this study involved a two-phased qualitative and quantitative analysis addressing these two research questions. The study followed the standard psychometric procedure for developing constructs. This research has resulted in the important findings and relevant conclusions for both academics and practitioners interested in service quality in the archival environment. The service quality measurement instrument formulated is called ARCHIVqual and has three dimensions, namely (1) security of information (with 4 items), (2) integrity of information (with 3 items) and (3) usability of information (with 2 items). Besides measuring service quality in the archival environment, ARCHIVqual will also serve as a tool for conducting periodic surveys thereby identifying specific problematic areas in archival institutions. / Graduate School for Business Leadership / DBL

政府機關、人民團體或個人處理業務或活動過程中所產生的記錄，稱之為檔案。檔案具有永久保存價值，是社會文化遺產的一部份。檔案對於研究歷史尤其重要，因此典藏各種主題檔案之歷史檔案館或典藏單位，必須制定館藏發展政策以區分館藏，建立各館之館藏特色。 基於上述，本研究之主要目的即為針對我國歷史檔案館館藏發展政策之擬定情形，以及歷史檔案館館藏發展政策所應涵蓋之內容作一探討；並進而從檔案人員之角度了解歷史檔案館制定館藏發展政策之現況與需求。 研究結果發現，目前國內歷史檔案館大多具備館藏發展之方向，其中已具備館內之工作手冊或規範書的檔案單位，包括：國史館、中研院近史所檔案館、宜蘭縣史館與吳三連台灣史料基金會，皆可提供歷史檔案館或民間史料典藏機構制定館藏發展政策之參考。 在研究結論中，研究者歸納出歷史檔案館制定館藏發展政策之必要性、歷史檔案館實施館藏發展政策之可行性，以及檔案專業人員制定與執行館藏發展政策之必要性等觀點。此外，在研究建議中，研究者並以國外歷史檔案館之館藏發展政策為藍本，及參酌國內歷史檔案館管理方式，研擬一份歷史檔案館館藏發展政策，以提供國內歷史檔案館相關單位未來制定館藏發展政策之參考。

檔案是紀錄人類文明發展的重要史料，也是行政機關執行業務過程的重要憑據，先進國家對於檔案的管理都極為重視，且均已興建現代化的檔案館來保存珍貴的國家檔案，設置適足的空間與設備以提供優質的應用服務，這不僅有助於文化資產之保存，也是國家發展進步的重要指標與象徵。我國現代化之檔案管理制度係師承歐美各先進國家，參酌國情後制定並予以立法規範，就長遠觀之，雖然已在2015年啟用首座永久性之國家檔案庫房，然而，這只能算是完成了因應典藏空間需求的近程目標，未來在制度面方面仍需建構完整的國家檔案管理體系，爭取興建獨立且多功能之館舍，讓珍貴的國家檔案得以妥適典藏並提供各界應用，發揮檔案存在的價值與功能。 　　檔案保存維護策略之擬訂，需掌握空間規劃、環境控制、修護處置、複製儲存及風險管理等要項，各要項皆有賴相當的專業能力方可成就，國家發展委員會檔案管理局為我國檔案中央主管機關，依法負有管理國家檔案之責，由於數量龐大且因年代久遠、原保管條件不佳等因素，檔案接管時多已嚴重劣損，更需要儘速研訂保存策略以為作業準據。本研究之目的，即以世界各先進國家之國家檔案館業務概況為探究目標，針對各國國家檔案館發展之保存策略加以研析，並就保存維護工作之範圍與業務重點比較其內涵之異同，據以研議適合我國國家檔案之保存策略，建立一致性、完整性、正確性之處置作業標準，提供未來國家檔案館規劃之參考，達到提升國家檔案典藏效益與作業品質之目的。本研究之重要成果與建議，歸納如下： 　一、國家檔案館興建刻不容緩 　　 本次研究調查發現，屬嚴重劣化的受損檔案多達一成以上，可合理推估具永久保存價值之國家檔案在尚未移轉前，恐有滅失之危機；據統計現有100公里以上之國家檔案尚待移轉，然受限於典藏空間不足而無法加速移轉作業之進行。因此，無論是從國際趨勢或是保存珍貴國家記憶的角度來看，興建國家檔案館都是未來首要推動的工作目標。 　二、國家檔案保存維護優先順序有待建立 　　國家檔案數量龐大，媒體型式及材質種類又十分多元，在資源有限情形下，除了必須爭取經費持續進行預防性保護相關作為，亦應衡酌檔案的價值性、應用性、保存性等條件，建立客觀的評量標準，研訂國家檔案保存修護及數位化等優先處置原則，兼顧檔案長期保存與便捷應用之需求，提升國家檔案管理效益。 三、國家檔案保存維護作業人力亟待充實 　　面對數量龐大且媒體類型多元的檔案，若無經費、人力、設備等資源的持續挹注，實難完成。為有效提升國家檔案保存維護工作的執行績效，未來仍應加強人力的支援，並思考業務傳承方式，使是項工作得以順遂推動。 四、各機關檔案人員保存維護正確觀念有待加強 　　國家檔案移轉前在各機關保存時間長達數十年，若原管有機關未善盡保存維護之責，或是施以錯誤的保管方式，等到檔案徵集移轉時再來搶救，恐為時已晚。為了讓檔案能夠延長保存壽命，進而減輕國家檔案移轉後所需花費的修護成本，應透過培訓、輔導等方式強化各機關檔案人員對於保存維護觀念的正確認知，宣導檔案保存環境控制與保管作為的有效作法，才能有效降低國家檔案劣化的數量與嚴重程度。 / Archives are not only important records of the development of human civilization but also concrete proofs of the works of government agencies. All the advanced nations attach great importance to the management of archives. They have therefore set up modernized buildings to house and preserve such precious archival materials, and have provided adequate space and facilities for quality service to users. By doing so, precious cultural assets can be best kept. These actions significantly symbolize the progress of a nation. In formulating correct strategies of archival preservation, we need to carefully take into consideration space planning, environment control, repair & restoration, duplicate & storage, and risk management. All of these rely on professional expertise. The National Archives Administration (NAA) under the Cabinet-level National Development Council is accountable for overall management of national archives in Taiwan. However, many of the archival materials had been damaged or deteriorated even before having been transferred to NAA due to their long history and the poor handling by the original agencies. Preservation of such archives urgently need efficient strategies. This dissertation therefore aims to conduct some researches on the operations of national archives agencies in advanced nations, analyze their preservation strategies, and compare the differences of their works and emphases. More importantly, this author tries to come up with standard operation procedures, which are coherent, complete and accurate, for Taiwan to preserve our national archives. Hopefully this will offer reference in planning for a new national archives hall, so as to enhance the efficiency and upgrade the quality of national archives preservation. The major study results and suggestions are as follows: I. There is urgent need for a national archives hall. This study finds out that seriously damaged or deteriorated archives in different agencies account for ten percent of the total archives. It can therefore be estimated that national archives worth preserving might be lost before being transferred to NAA. Statistics show that there are over 100-km long national archives waiting to be transferred. Yet, due to the limited space in NAA, it is impossible to speed up the transfer process. Therefore, in view of international trend or the need to retain precious national memories, to build a new national archives hall is top on the agenda. 2. Priorities should be set to best preserve national archives. National archives are not only large in quantity but also diverse in media types and material sorts. With limited resources, NAA has to allocate budgets to continue preventive protection measures. Meanwhile, it needs to establish objective criteria for assessing the value, usage, and preservation of different national archives before setting priorities for the restoration and digitalization of each sort. It is equally important to ensure long-term preservation and offer convenient service to users, so as to enhance the management efficiency of national archives. 3. The quality and quantity of workforce in national archives preservation need to be strengthened. Faced by the challenges in both large number and different types of national archives, NAA assuredly needs more financial, workforce and equipment support to continue fulfilling its missions. In order to more effectively preserve national archives and keep the operation going smoothly, more professionals are needed, and skills and experiences must be passed down to new staff members. 4. The preservation-related knowledge of staff members in different agencies needs to be strengthened. The current national archives had been kept by different agencies for several decades before having been transferred to NAA. If the original agencies failed to do their jobs well or kept their archives in a wrong way, it would be too late to rescue those archives after transfer. Therefore, in order to prolong the life of archives and reduce the expenses on repairing them after transfer, staff members in all agencies should receive training and assistance to gain better knowledge of archival preservation. After that, they can together take correct, effective measures as environment control and careful preservation to significantly reduce the number and degree of deteriorated archives.

Au cours d’une longue carrière, Michel Saint-Denis a développé un système de pratiques pédagogiques pour le training de l’acteur qui contribue à la formation des nouvelles générations d’acteurs anglophones et francophones. La recherche menée pour cette thèse a donc coïncidé avec une enquête sur la genèse et les transformations de cette pédagogie de l’acteur, organisée en un ensemble d’enseignements, au sein des écoles d’art dramatique fondées par Saint-Denis, à partir du London Theatre Studio. Sa formation auprès de Jacques Copeau méritait sans doute un examen approfondi et détaillé, car les techniques pour acteurs assimilées à l’École du Vieux-Colombier et avec les Copiaus en Bourgogne ont contribué à la composition des principes pédagogiques et conceptuels au sein desquels son training a été construit. L’œuvre de Saint-Denis apparaît exemplaire, justement parce qu’à son arrivée en Angleterre dans les années 1930, tout d’abord en tant que directeur de la Compagnie des Quinze puis en tant que pédagogue d’acteurs, il se propose comme porteur de nouvelles pratiques au sein d’une culture théâtrale dans laquelle la formation de l’acteur - telle que considérée par Copeau et ses héritiers élèves - n’était pas envisagée. Cette thèse vise donc à retracer le training de l’acteur par Saint-Denis en tant que méthode pédagogique, et donc la normalisation des pratiques développées par Copeau au sein de l’École du Vieux-Colombier et avec les Copiaus, et leur inclusion dans le contexte théâtral anglophone. Saint- Denis a été le premier à traduire les chemins de recherche pédagogique de Copeau en une méthode figée et définie. / The transmission of acting training is a complex and often controversial topic within theatre studies. Within this scholarly discourse, Michel Saint-Denis’s actor pedagogy, often neglected by theatre historians, is an exemplary case study for two main reasons: Saint-Denis (Jacques Copeau’s nephew, student and one of his major heirs) was the first who translated the acting practices rediscovered in the École du Vieux-Colombier and by the Copiaus group into a fixed and defined method; he led and adapted Copeau’s teachings in the anglophone theatrical world. This dissertation explores the first institutional context created by Saint-Denis, that also constitutes the prototype of his pedagogy: the London Theatre Studio, founded in 1935 and active until the outbreak of World War II. What I wish to investigate is the transition from an entirely experimental practice – that is, the research undertaken by Copeau with his pupils at the École du Vieux Colombier and in Burgundy – to a proper method. This system was conceived for being transmitted, and therefore systematized, in a fixed and strictly normative structure – In other words, standardised. Saint-Denis appears to be the custodian of Copeau’s legacy, responsible for translating a combination of experimental workshops into a structured method and for their further development in acting schools programs. Furthermore, upon his relocation from France to England, Saint-Denis becomes the link between two different theatre cultures. / La principale finalità di questo lavoro di ricerca è quella di apportare un contributo allo studio dell’allenamento attoriale, secondo una prospettiva storica. La pedagogia dell’attore di Michel Saint-Denis, che ha dedicato gran parte della sua vita all’acting training, è spesso ignorata dagli storici del teatro, nonostante rappresenti, invece, un caso di studio esemplare. Nipote, allievo e tra i principali eredi di Jacques Copeau, è stato il primo a tradurre le pratiche riscoperte e sviluppate all’École du Vieux-Colombier e dai Copiaus, di cui aveva fatto esperienza diretta, in un metodo fisso e definito, e ha traghettato e adattato gli insegnamenti di Copeau nel mondo teatrale anglofono. Ripercorrendo e approfondendo il suo percorso di apprendistato, lo studio effettua un lavoro di ricostruzione e analisi del primo contesto istituzionale creato da Saint-Denis, che costituisce il prototipo della sua pedagogia: il London Theatre Studio, fondato nel 1935 e attivo fino all’inizio della Seconda guerra mondiale. Ciò che ci interessa indagare è il passaggio da un insieme di pratiche sperimentali – ovvero le ricerche effettuate dal Patron con gli allievi dell’École du Vieux Colombier e con i Copiaus in Borgogna – a un metodo pensato per essere trasmesso e dunque sistematizzato in una struttura normativa fissa, rigida. Della cultura attoriale che discende da Copeau, Saint-Denis sembra essere il custode: il primo a tradurre un insieme di pratiche sperimentali in un metodo fisso, inserito in un’istituzione formativa convenzionale. Ma non solo: con il trasferimento in Inghilterra, Saint-Denis diviene anello di congiunzione tra due culture teatrali tra loro diversissime.

En introduction générale, est dressé un état de la Recherche sur trois thématiques : l’histoire et l’épistémologie de l’archéologie, le genre biographique, les archives et les correspondances scientifiques. Il est suivi d’une présentation du sujet de thèse et de ses problématiques. La première partie est une biographie consacrée à Henry Corot (1864-1941), figure emblématique de l’archéologie pré- et protohistorique en région Bourgogne. Sa vie et son œuvre sont appréhendées, principalement, au travers l’exploitation de son fonds d’archives – lequel comprend des centaines de dossiers de travail et une correspondance de 2500 lettres -. La deuxième partie est consacrée aux correspondants de H. Corot. Un répertoire biographique, comptant 490 entrées, rassemble les notices biographiques et les publications de ces archéologues. Suivent : le recrutement géographique et le recrutement sociologique de ces savants, le thème de la sociabilité à l’époque de H. Corot à travers l’analyse de sa correspondance, enfin, l’analyse des publications de ces archéologues, soit un corpus de 1300 références. Cette thèse permet à travers la biographie singulière de H. Corot d’envisager une perspective plus large, celle de biographies collectives, qui à leur tour rendent possible l’élargissement du propos à l’histoire et à l’épistémologie de la recherche protohistorique sous la Troisième République venant ainsi combler une importante lacune dans la production universitaire intéressant l’histoire de l’archéologie. / The general introduction sets up a state of research on three themes : history and epistemology of archaeology, biographical genre, archives and scientists correspondences. Next, there is a presentation of thesis subject and its problematic. The first part is about Henry Corot’s biography (1864-1941). He was an emblematic figure in prehistoric and protohistoric archeology in Bourgogne area. His life and his work are apprehended thanks to the study of his archives containing hundreds of working folders and a correspondence of 2500 letters. The second part focus on H. Corot’s correspondents. A biographic directory includes biographical information and all publications of 490 French and foreign archaeologists. To follow, this thesis centers on: the geographical and sociological recruitment of these archaeologists, the topic of sociability at the time of H. Corot through the analysis of his correspondence, and the examination of the publications of these archaeologists (corpus of 1300 references). To conclude, this thesis allows, through the H. Corot’s singular biography, to consider a broader view, the collective biographies, which in turn make it possible the enlargement at history and epistemology of research in prehistory from the Third Republic and fill an important gap in the academic production about archaeology history.

O objetivo da tese é estudar a relação que cientistas mantêm com os documentos produzidos nos laboratórios científicos e tecnológicos, visando buscar elementos que contribuam para a elaboração de um programa de preservação de arquivos de C&T. A metodologia utilizada foi a de aplicação de questionário, por meio de entrevista, aos responsáveis pelos laboratórios dos institutos de pesquisa do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia no Rio de Janeiro. O primeiro capítulo apresenta conceitos básicos e algumas iniciativas do governo na área da preservação documental. O segundo capítulo analisa os limites entre o pessoal e o institucional nos documentos gerados pelos laboratórios, verificando que são tênues e mal definidos. O terceiro capítulo explora os limites entre o público e o privado na documentação oriunda das etapas intermediárias de um processo de pesquisa, verificando que o destino desta documentação é incerto. O último capítulo se dedica a explorar a opinião dos cientistas sobre a importância da preservação dos documentos para a memória científica, verificando que há pouca reflexão sobre o tema. Ao final de cada capítulo são apresentadas as conclusões das análises, bem como são apontadas contribuições para um programa de preservação de documentos de arquivos de ciência e tecnologia. / The aim of this thesis is to study the relationship between scientists and the records produced by scientific and technological laboratories, with the objective of searching elements as to contribute for the elaboration of a preservation program for SciTech archives. The methodology used was the application of a questionnaire as part of an interview, to the professional responsible for the laboratory within research institutes of the Ministry of Science and Technology in Rio de Janeiro. The first chapter presents basic concepts and some initiatives from the government on the area of preservation of records. The second chapter analyses the frontiers between personal and institutional records produced by the laboratories, verifying that they are fragile and poorly defined. The third one explores the boundaries between public and private in the records derived from the intermediary\'s steps of a research process, verifying that their destiny is uncertain. The last chapter is dedicated to explore the opinion of scientists about the importance of the records\' preservation for the scientific memory, verifying that there is very little reflection about this subject. At the end of each chapter, there are conclusions about the analysis, as well as some contributions for a preservation program of science and technology archives.
