Abstract

This study reflects on the importance of people and family archival authority records, in order to provide easier access to the documents. This practice, which aims to standardize and facilitate access to archival funds, is based on several international and national standards, which allow the exchange of data between archival entities. The availability of archival description software, such as ICA-AtoM, enables the description and a greater dissemination of documentary funds, such as family archives deposited at private or public archive services, as in the case of the Almada e Lencastres Bastos family archive.
