LLANES PADRON, Dunia  and  SUAREZ MARESMA, Isabel. The Description of the Producer and Authority Registries in the Archival. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.3, pp.301-313. ISSN 0120-0976.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rib.v39n3a07.

The information representation in the archives framework faces new challenges characterized by the paradigmatic transitions in the Archivistics. The thinking raised by the post-custodial theory changed the theoretical and practical ways of the description process, now directed to represent in a standardized way different archival entities: documents, producers, functions, custodial institutions among others. The aim of this article is to study the standardized representation of archivistics producers and the creation of the authority registries. The present study is mostly exploratory-descriptive; it offers a theoretical analysis about the description of the producer entity and sub-entity institution, person and family. Also, the study analyses some general notions of authority record, access points and authority control. Finally, it introduces the international, national and regional standards published for the creation of archival authority registries. The representation of producers and their integration in the information systems is a main task in the new contexts of the postmodern archive, focussed on the management, access and accuracy of the information.

Keywords : archival description; producers description; authority record; access point; authority control; descriptive standards.
