Abstract
Archival science, which is highly infl uenced by social and technological change,
is presently in the midst of a profound transformation that affects its very nature. After
a brief introduction to future studies, prospective archival science is defi ned as the
research posed and conducted to respond to queries and uncertainties respecting the
future of archives and archival science, as well as the study of factors of change that
will determine that future. This is followed by a refl ection on the fundamentals of this
discipline, the questions to be addressed, the fi elds of application, and the most suitable
methods. The article concludes with a proposal for the appropriate application of
prospective archival science: consensus documents and indicators.
Keywords: Archival science, prospective archival science, archival research, prospective
analysis, consensus techniques, monitoring, technological monitori
