The production and use of archival knowledge in the Information andCommunications Technology (ICT) scenario presents a complex environment.Thus, reflecting on the ways of representing the archival knowledge withterminological instruments contributes to informational access. In thisperspective, the functional thesauri, as a field of study within the area, act as acomplementary solution tool to the problems of access to archival information.Therefore, the present work aims to carry out a methodological systematizationof the construction of a functional thesaurus. About the methodologicalprocedures, they are characterized as a bibliographic and exploratory researchwith a qualitative approach. The Bardin content analysis method was used,which after the pre-analysis and the exploitation of the material (technicalscientificliterature), the following categories were grouped: conceptualpragmatic nature, necessary preliminary aspects, functions that the thesaurusperforms, in addition to the theoretical aspects evidenced, steps and fundamentalactions for the construction of the functional thesaurus. It has been found that,for the construction of functional thesauri, the Australian National Archivesmanual, pioneer in a functional thesaurus manual, it describes steps and necessary for its construction. It is concluded that this trajectory of theconstruction of a functional thesaurus is going through an initial stage, revealingthe need for a theoretical deepening of this subject with other areas ofknowledge.actions
