O This study aims to present a faceted classification plan for archive document management at the federal universities of Brazil. To this end, a bibliographical survey was carried out on archive management in Brazil, the types of classification plans and the theory of the faceted classification of Ranganathan, by means of searches in national databases in the areas of Librteconomy and Archivology. The classification plan used in the Federal Institutions of Higher Education – IFES to represent the functional facet was identified and the structural classification plan was created to represent the structural facet. The two classification plans were consolidated within a digital archive management system to give rise to the faceted classification plan. The system used was Tainacan, a digital repository that assists in managing digital documents. The developed faceted classification plan allows the user to choose and even combine the way to retrieve the information that ensures greater assertiveness in the retrieval of the information.
