One of the most influential proposals is the classical triad of paradigms explored and deepened by Rafael Capurro: the physical, the cognitive and the social. On this basis, the main aim of this study is to look into in which of these paradigms fit the research of the master’s and Ph.D. in IS of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra (FLUC).<br>The adopted methodology, based on the methods of literature search and qualitative content analysis, was grounded on the analysis of a total of 109 master’s dissertations and Ph.D. theses in IS defended in the FLUC (deposited in the institutional repository), between 2006 and 2022.<br>We conclude that, in the light of the physical, cognitive and social paradigms, there is not a single and univocal epistemological orientation. Rather, there is a hegemony of the physical paradigm, in line with both the Spanish and French epistemological trend in the IS domain, related, above all, to a secular documentalist tradition, coexisting with a significant, yet not preeminent, presence of the social paradigm. The incidence of the cognitive paradigm is less meaningful and appears always complemented by an approach that partly tends towards the premisses of the social paradigm.</p> Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/boletimauc/article/view/16435 The Quiñones Counts of Luna Archive (León, Spain) 2025-06-30T20:49:13+01:00 Rafael Ceballos Roa rafael.ceballos@unileon.es María del Carmen Rodríguez-López mcrodl@unileon.es <p>This paper presents an overview of the history of the Quiñones family archive, Counts of Luna in León (Spain). The methodology used is based on the analysis of the description and control instruments developed by the archive's curators, the study of the marks left by archival practice on the documentary units, and the news about the archive and its use that has come down to us.</p> Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/boletimauc/article/view/16434 As The bindings of the tombos of the Episcopal Mitra of Coimbra (16th to 18th centuries) 2025-06-30T10:11:28+01:00 Ana Margarida Dias da Silva margaridadiasdasilva@gmail.com <p>The aim of this article is to identify types of binding that are characteristic of a certain chronological period by analysing 57 books from Mitra Episcopal de Coimbra, from the 16<sup>th</sup> to the 18<sup>th</sup> century, and their respective decoration. There are four different types of binding: parchment, leather-covered cardboard, engraved or not, board and cardboard lined with pink paper. The description sheets for each of the codices are attached.</p> Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/boletimauc/article/view/16429 Uso, custodia y memoria de lo escrito en Santa María de Penamaior, Lugo (siglos XII-XIX) 2025-06-27T14:48:38+01:00 Sandra Piñeiro Pedreira sandrapineiro.pedreira@hotmail.com <p class="p1">El presente estudio busca conocer cómo se utilizaron, dónde se guardaron y cuáles fueron las vicisitudesbde los documentos plenomedievales (ss. XII-XIII) que actualmente se conservan en el Archivo Histórico Nacional (Madrid, España), mientras estuvieron custodiados en la abadía cisterciense de Santa María de Penamaior (Lugo, España), la cual fue exclaustrada durante la desamortización decimonónica. Para ello, vamos a examinar el uso y los recursos empleados para la selección, el control, la guarda y la <em>memoria</em> de este patrimonio escrito en el archivo monástico, sirviéndonos de los instrumentos de <em>memoria</em> posteriores – varios libros de <em>tumbo </em>modernos – y de las huellas de instalación – sistemas de plegado y atado –, identificación y uso – anotaciones marginales y dorsales – presentes en las piezas objeto de análisis. Esto no sólo nos permitirá reconstruir la trayectoria posterior de la documentación pignatense, sino también vislumbrar – y recuperar – los documentos perdidos a lo largo de la historia, tanto en época medieval como en época moderna y contemporánea.</p> Copyright (c) https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/boletimauc/article/view/16398 Comemoração do Centenário do Nascimento de Fernando Távora (1923-2023).
