Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to provide students with a basic overview and a set of primary knowledge about the current legislative framework and the current organization and functioning of archival science in the Czech Republic, by combining the form of a monologue (lecture) and dialogical methods (interview, discussion, brainstorming). The content is presented contextually with references to the historical roots and genesis of the current state and to the basic methodological postulates of contemporary scientific archival science. This systemic explanation is followed by a set of information about the current practical functioning of Czech archival science, presented in an appropriate transnational (European, world) context. The result of teaching in the course should be a secure orientation in the structure of Czech archival science, a comprehensive idea of the working procedures and functioning of archives, as well as the work of archivists, its meaning and mission.
Students will gain primary orientation in the field of archival science and issues related to document management.
