Abstract

This article proposes to report the progress achieved, presenting a state of affairs on the organization of the History Institute Archive of the Faculty of Humanities of the Universidad del Nordeste (Chaco/Argentina), carried out in the period 2022-2024. For this work, in order to address the organization of documents, we formed an interdisciplinary team, beginning with the identification of some types of documents and the organization of a provisional classification chart, which allowed us to start the sanitization and arrangement of documents. Beyond the desire to organize the archive, the task is part of a larger project that seeks to reconstruct the origins of the Faculty of Humanities and, within it, those of the History Institute, founded with the purpose of forming teams of students, graduates and teachers. As methods, this account of the experience is based on a case study, and as results, situations related to the identification and origin of the documentation were recorded, aiming at the reordering of the documents, the reconstruction of the flow of information in the founding period of the Institute and the interpretation of the relationship of these documents with those produced in other Institutes of the Faculty of Humanities at the time.
