Abstract/Résumé/Resumen
In way to discuss about the theoretical and practical meaning of the word indexing in Archivology, it was sought to investigate concectual relations that it presents to the área in question. At one first moment the word indexing is seen in Archivology by Schellenberg, (1980) on XIX and XX centuries as a process witch has as base the cataloguing, which comes from Tematic Treatment of Information (TTI), at a second moment with automation in 80’s decade, it pass to be understood as a process related to description of the archive document presented by International Autority Archival Register Standard International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families- ISAAR (CPF), which exposes some elements/characters who must be observed when extracting the word from the docmment for it’s representation. However, the Norm ISAAR (CPF) only directs the Archiver on representartion of information, not presenting methods that could help in it’s analysis, by the way, keeps the necessity of the discussion about the methods of TTI in Archivology.
