Introduction to Part I: Unsettling Archival Studies.

It is our hope that this issue can advance archivists' ongoing efforts to develop critical, decolonial, and community-driven approaches to their work, while also introducing humanities scholars to the ongoing conversations in archival science that will greatly enrich their own research.
