Síntese histórica da (re)organização do Arquivo Público do Estado de Sergipe (APES)

Abstract

This article will discuss the difficulty in maintaining a permanent organization of the documentation safeguarded by the Public Archive of the State of Sergipe (APES), drawing a parallel between the so-called great reorganization, in 1970 and the, again, necessary great reorganization, starting in 2021. And this reflection regarding the History of APES and the importance of this memory space in the preservation of documentation will occur considering what this institution represents, at a social level, for the construction of a collective memory, this being worked on in the light of Jacques Le Goff, and analyzing whether the Archive is serving its purpose, which is to allow access to this memory. For this, the experiences and perceptions when an intern at this Archive are used as a parameter, facing a situation similar to that reported by Professor Terezinha Alves de Oliva in the past, in which she was frightened by the disorganization of the archival documentation. The research uses exploratory, inductive analysis, through documentary sources, with bibliographical survey, in books, scientific articles from official websites, magazines.
