Continuing Archivistic Training in Spain

Abstract

The article shows the results of a research about postgraduate courses - specialization, masters, and doctorate degree - in archival science, taught by universities of Spain (2017 and 2018). As a methodology, were adopted a series of searchs and visits to social networks and virtual sites of educational institutions, both distance and presential. As a theoretical basis, the research was based on the reduced number of continuing training courses in archival science in Brazil Souza (2011), comparing with Spain, which has the absence of formal training courses, but presents an expressive quantitative of these courses. In addition, it was observed the thematic of the courses in relation to the archival functions proposed by Rousseau & Couture (1998). The results point to many modalities of postgraduate courses in the area or correlated to it and with greater concentration in three major Spanish cities, Barcelona, Madrid, and Salamanca.
