Abstract

A study of the development of the introduction of the Brazilian Public Archival Institutions on the internet and of the processes of transferring archival information via the network. The first stage of the research, in 2004, started with the existing universe of sites of Brazilian Public Archival Institutions. In the second stage of the research in 2009, the universe was updated to analysis and the sites were investigated using the same criteria as the previous stage: the services that are available, the level of relationship with the user, the types of consultations that can be made to the collections and elements related to the content, the design and structure of the sites. The importance of this comparative study is to verify the changes that occurred during the interval, if there was growth and or advancements and if so, what they were. The site of an archival institution offers services already available at their physical locations, either totally or partially, as well as suggesting new possibilities to the archival institutions. This new electronic channel requires actions in order to attend the demands of the network users. The introduction of archival collections on the internet implicates new challenges in the management of this information.
