DIGITAL ARCHIVISTICS

The course want to illustrate archival methodologies in three specific sectors of digital use both in the public and private sectors: 1. Design, implementation, management and conservation of document management systems; 2. description and communication of historical archives; 3. digitization of documents. In the last thirty years, archival science has faced traditional problems with a renewed approach, influenced by technologies and international research: consequently, the archival work has become more attentive to the needs of the community. The dialectical relationship with the digital world is not purely instrumental, but is a tool for the qualitative refinement of archival products to provide increasingly optimal services to the community.

Ability to detect needs, design solutions, critically screen products.
