About

The ARC RG explores core areas of information science related to archival studies, digital curation, recordkeeping, and library science. As such, our group supports the exploration of a wide range of knowledge environments in society, such as cultural heritage infrastructure (libraries, archives, and museums), academic scholarship, government, health, and education. We investigate complex socio-technical problems related to information and digital curation, access, use, and discovery from a diverse array of research perspectives.

• • Archival science
