Arti tradizionali di un possibile moderno Trivio: Archivistica, Bibliografia, Documentazione

Abstract

The text is a journey through memory exploring the evolution of Book and Document Sciences over the last forty years, inspired by a 1942 song by Charles Trenet. The essay primarily addresses the question “what has become” of documentation science, only briefly touching upon “what will become.” It traces the history of Archival Science, Bibliography, Library Science, and Documentation, emphasizing the value and centrality of knowledge systematization. The text then delves into the complex issues related to the production, use, and preservation of digital documents from an interdisciplinary perspective, while not neglecting
the publication of the Records in Contexts-Conceptual Model by the International Council on Archives, which unifies and replaces four pre-existing international standards. This overview concludes with a quote from Jules Verne, suggesting a connection with the past and the uncertainty of the future.
