The development and partial results of the master's research developed in Line 1 - Policies and Information Technologies, of the Post-graduate Program in Information Science, Federal University of Bahia, about the identification of the types of textual documents in the personal archive of Thales de Azevedo. In the context of the organization of archival knowledge, the identification of documentary typology is fundamental for the development of other physical and intellectual operations in order to organize the archives, among which stand out the classification and the description. The objective is, therefore, to address issues that involve the identification of documentary typology in personal archives, evidencing its characteristics in relation to documentary production and the diversity of typologies resulting from the historiographical practice undertaken by the owner. To do so, we present a review of the literature on the status of personal archives in Archives, and a brief history, conceptualization and analysis of Documentation Identification in national and international literature. Finally, we highlight the role of identification of documentary typology in the treatment of information in personal archives as an essential process of archival practice, which includes a set of activities aimed at providing access to documents and the memory in them
