ARCHIVONOMY, subject of the secretarial area that studies how to keep the documents of a private or public company in an orderly manner. The word comes from the La'tín Archivum-Archive and the Greek Nomos-Ley, that is to say, law of the archives.
In government and private offices, due to the number of documents they generate, there is a need to store them in an orderly fashion, for this we must follow established rules.
Of the correspondence that is prepared in companies or institutions to be sent to its recipients, it is customary to keep in files, a copy of each document for any clarification. Saving written documents in an orderly way is called "filing" and taking into account the volume of documents, the filing system is established.
The Archives Office is a place where the documents that make up the history of a country, city, business, school, hospital, etc. are kept.
Elements that make up an Archive: Documents, files, filing cabinets, files, shelves, shelves and nomenclature.
The space for the files will depend on the documents and files that are controlled or generated in a Company or Institution, which must have security, cleanliness, adequate lighting and equipment, but above all, responsible, caring and organized staff who provide prompt service to users.
The Administrative Personnel who work in the Archive offices must be trained in the matter. The person who acts as Head of the office, in addition to meeting the academic requirements, must be organized, honest and discreet.
The main furniture with which a file is integrated, includes file cabinets, card holders (where cards are kept small so-called files that contain the data of each file), shelves, work tables, desks and chairs. These must be made of metallic material for greater safety and hygiene.
Regarding the furniture called file cabinets, they are vertically with drawers to store files, at the front each drawer has a special rectangular frame called a label to specify its contents.
Shelves, furniture with shelves used to store bulky files than normal, letter or legal size.
EQUIPMENT: Typewriters and / or computers, staplers, unstaplers, punches, guillotines, micro-setter.
In folders or letterhead folders, the corresponding documents previously classified are kept, integrating the file of a person or matter, protected with staples or clasps.
A file is part of the documentation of a file, which has been divided to facilitate its management and contribute to its conservation.
The loan of files for consultation is done through vouchers that contain data such as the following: date, name of the file, number, name and signature of the person who authorizes.
