Brazilian's Arquivo Nacional has in its sound archives a considerable music collection (from the first record labels in Brazil to popular music from the late 20th century), besides political speeches, jingles, radio shows and political campaigns. Another collection that has been growing exponentially in the last years is the one named “Arquivo do Arquivo”, which puts together documents produced within the institution: audio records of congresses, speeches and seminars about the most diverse themes held within the walls of this governamental institution. As a way to integrate and grant access to these collections, we've launched a PodCast on archival studies, history, audiovisual and new technologies. The intention of this paper is to report the production experiences and the issues faced through the execution of “Pó-de-Arquivo” PodCast, which presents samples of recently archived audio documents, seminars, congresses and speeches' recordings that are reused/reframed in a new context, proposed by two hosts.
I'm an historian at Arquivo Nacional do Brasil, with interests in Folk/rock/jazz music, podcasting, latin american history and music, social movements, HQs, soccer. A little bit of all.
