Abstract

Key factors for the future of Archival science are identified and prioritized from the views of a small group of professionals and researchers, using the qualitative technique of consensus-building. The study has identified 70 factors distributed among five variables: the future of archives (26), of Archival science (10), of professionals (12), of relationships with technologies (10) and of society (12). The amount, scope and results invite us to continue the research in broader contexts as well as in larger groups of experts from different sectors.
