Abstract

This article is the result of a research that aims to confront four theoretical and methodological proposals for archival appraisal. Schellenberg's model is the first model of great international impact, standing out for the elaboration of the so-called “value theory”. The second model, the Documentation Strategy, consists of a plan to preserve documents from different sources, but which refer to the same task, activity, or area. The third model, the Documental Plan, has the strategy of building a list of relevant historical events, based on which the documents are appraised. The macro-appraisal, on the other hand, proposes to appraisal first the functions and activities of the producer, considering the relations between society and the State. The analysis of these models allowed us to understand that there is not exactly a contrast between a modern and postmodern archival theory regarding document evaluation. The arguments presented by the different authors do not allow to identify rupture. These models are historically contextualized and answer questions from their respective contexts, without, however, necessarily denying the model developed in the middle of the 20th century by Schellenberg, even though this denial appears in the speech of one or the other.
