Records and archives. Certainties and doubts in a hybrid world

This special issue will host articles about current developments in archival science, theoretical, methodological, and practical. Archival acquisition, appraisal, description, documentation, and management are critical to developing physical, digital, or hybrid collections. Organizational or personal, social, legal or cultural, the archives and records shed light on different aspects of human activity and experience with additional value for future generations. They provide to us with the context surrounding everyday life and events. Through this special issue, we aim to deliver the different aspects of managing and preserving physical and digital archival collections, meeting the information needs of scholars and the broader society by examining the standard rules of archival science together with the technological advances, archival ethics, copyright, and personal data protection, in the setting of sharing our common history. Emphasis will be given to adequate record management regarding content authenticity, accuracy, reliability, integrity, and validity.
