Abstract

This study starts from conceptual elements developed by intellectual practices of Oral History and Oral Tradition. Its objective is to propose archival description for oral documents produced by these practices. To use conceptual elements developed by oral history and tradition, in the frame of multilevel description presented in regulation ISAD-G, is very useful for the information specialists. It helps to carry out the description of documents no only in terms of their physical characteristics but also regarding their contents, and it considers that the description work “is basically that of dividing information in comprehensible data to recover information”, thus making easier the process of consultation, research and spread of archives.
