ABSTRACT

This study examines research trends on local archives using articles retrieved from SCOPUS. The analysis shows that scholarly interest remained minimal until the 1990s but increased notably in the 2000s, with 88% of all publications appearing after 2010, indicating rapid growth over the past two decades. Journal-level analysis using SCOPUS subject classifications identified the major disciplinary areas contributing to local archive research, while article-level keyword network analysis revealed core themes and their interrelationships. Overall, local archive studies have evolved through a convergence of record-centered research with cultural heritage and regional studies, alongside a growing body of work related to digital archives.
