Abstract: This paper aims to reveal the current status of research development, research hotspots and trends, and possible future research directions in the field of archival digitization research in China. This paper focuses on the field of archival digitization research in China, using 1267 relevant literature articles retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database between 1995 and 2022 as the research object. The study employs a bibliometric analysis and knowledge graph analysis and visualizes and analyzes its research content, authors, and institutions using software such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The study summarizes the research hotspots and development trends in the field of archival digitization. The results indicate that interdisciplinary research is a clear trend in current archival digitization research. Institutional construction, management mode, management technology, and archival form are this field’s four main thematic directions. Finally, based on the current research hotspots in China’s archival digitization, the future research and development direction of the field is discussed.
