RESUMO

The present paper discusses the importance of establishing an indexing policy and the proposal for a documentary language (DL) to guide documentalists regarding photographic indexing processes, which are aligned to the users´ needs and the institutional profile. A comparative analysis between theoretical references and existing practices has been carried out within three memory-institutions. The pivotal issue was to verify whether the methodology used was aligned to the profile of the memory-institution and whether it catered to users´ needs. The conclusion reached was that, despite the existence of already-established methods related to image content analysis and creation of documentary language, such were not employed at memory-institutions with photo archives. The task of indexing was performed therein by using very particular criteria; nevertheless, it catered to institutional needs, as long as the search was mediated by the documentalist himself. Such evidence reinforces the perception that image content is usually identified according to institutional profiles and users´ needs, but also that the adoption of socializable criteria of image content representation becomes essential when the system does not foresee mediation by the documentalist.
