Therefore, Culture and Museology use information and communication technologies as mediating communication tools, enhancing the conservation and “socialization” of museum collections, promoting access to cultural information, through the interdisciplinarity required between the museologist and other professionals who, together, organize and disseminate the collections. The enhancement of Cultural Heritage is the link between Museology and Information Science and involves valuing the human action of creating, interpreting, using, selecting, and distributing knowledge products and records, thus creating a connection with the concept of information. Hence, information is central to the process of cultural development and it is important to highlight the role of the information professional who, using information and communication technologies, can act in areas based on informational heritage. This paper using literature review as a methodology by defining the theoretical framework and the conceptual structure that supports the article, which clarifies the relationship between Information Science, Heritage, and Museology, presenting the information professional as a partner of Museology, working the cultural object as a document with communicative properties, as a message intended for a specific audience and as information that impacts that audience.
