Historia archivística

Historia archivística is the study of the history and development of archives and archival practices within organizations or institutions. It examines how records are created, managed, preserved, and used over time. This discipline helps understand the context behind records, the reasons for specific archiving methods, and how archival practices evolve. Essentially, it provides a narrative about the lifecycle of records, ensuring their preservation for future research, accountability, and cultural heritage. It is a crucial part of archival science that links historical records to organizational and societal history.
