 archival material, are resulting in disruptions to traditional archival theories and practices. Increasing quantities of ‘big archival data’ present challenges for the practitioners and researchers who work with archival material, but also offer enhanced possibilities

 new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archives. We aim to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to
 help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational archival science in the coming years, as well addressing the questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of ‘big data’ and the uses to which it is put.</span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
