They consider the updated definition of the essence of archival studies, changes in its conceptual and terminological apparatus, theoretical and methodological foundations, and applied aspects caused by the influence of the realities of the modern digital age; internationalization and harmonization of archival law; problematic issues of functioning of personal and family digital archives, their content, consequences, and ways of solving them; improvement of the quality of education in the archival field; developing archival literacy and digital competence among the population. The publications selected for analysis, as evidenced by the historiography, are closely related to the main directions and issues of scientific research in modern foreign archival studies, especially in European. The research methodology includes: the classical basic principles of scientific knowledge - historicism, scientific objectivity; general scientific methods (historical, logical, systemic, logical and semantic), special scientific methods (definitional analysis, historical and legal, source analysis and synthesis, actualization, historical and typological, periodization, historical and chronological, historical and comparative (comparative)), as well as terminology, certain provisions of the theory and practice of international law, Council of Europe law, EU law.
