Abstract

In view of the recurring disasters,that put archival collections at risk,and the complex nature of addressing this issue, especially given the limited financial resources allocated to these sectors, we propose a method to assist managers of archival institutions or sectors in prioritizing actions to prevent the loss of documentary heritage and institutional memory. We utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multicriteria method in conjunction with the integrated Fine-Mosler model to develop this method. The proposed approach is exemplified through the central archives of two public agencies. Our results demonstrate that this method is an effective tool for defining the order of priorities for preservation actions that must be taken for archival collections.
