This paper presents the process of appraisal of information starting from an analysis of the methods proposed by different authors in the fields of Archival Science and Information Science. The study starts from a classical perspective of appraisal, with Jenkinson (1922) and Schellenberg (2003) and their Theory of Values; going through a postmodern approach of macroappraisal, proposed by Terry Cook (2005), who criticizes the previous model and proposes a systematic and holistic approach to the process; through interdisciplinarity within Information Science, studied by Silva and Ribeiro (2000, 2004); and Ribeiro (2005) and his studies of information flows. Complementary perspectives of the value of information are proposed, with the concepts of clue, evidence and proof (Rockembach 2012, 2013a, 2013b, 2013c), as well as the Theory of the Documents Acts (Smith, 2005). The study concludes that the interdisciplinary debate may be of great importance for the terminological and methodological construction of appraisal.
