Abstract

In this article are presented the theoretical conditions for epistemological integration of Archival Science, Library Science and Museum Studies in the scope of Information Science. For that, first, are presented the historical conformations that led these three areas, until the establishment of a first scientific model. Following, are presented several theories formulated during the twentieth century grouped into five axes, which point to overrun the initial model. Finally, this framework is confronted with the theoretical developments in Information Science. It is argued that the concept of information as recently studied may foster the advancement of theoretical perspectives in the three areas and points to the possibility of its epistemological integration.
