It points out some relations between the fields of Archival Science and the Digital Humanities. It exposes the notion of archival literacy as a means of reconceptualizing the archives and the interaction between archival institutions and the community, through the sharing of archival knowledge, in order to offer archival users a set of skills that will help to empower research and access to information. It is characterized as a research of exploratory nature, with a qualitative character and that uses as a procedure the bibliographic revision to fulfill its objectives. The results point to the existence of points of relationship between Archival Science and the Digital Humanities, with the notion of archival literacy as an important function in the access and use of archives.
