| Sumario: | Archival appraisal has traditionally focused on records generated in analog format, but today it faces a paradigm shift due to the massive production of data in digital environments. This study analyzes academic publications between 2020 and 2024 that describe methodologies and/or experiences focused on differentiating or integrating the appraisal of records and data, with the aim of managing information efficiently. Based on documentary research and content analysis, eleven relevant publications from journals which specialize in archival science and information science were selected. Among the findings there are three main themes: the adoption of post-custodial models to manage large volumes of information; the automation of this process through artificial intelligence; and the evolution of traditional criteria toward new dimensions such as reliability, exploitability, and representativeness. Although emerging technologies can be allies for archival appraisal, judgment remains with humans who make sure the historical and social relevance of the information is preserved. In summary, archival appraisal is a dynamic and interdisciplinary process that can be assisted by technology, where the archivist plays a crucial role in the sustainability of information governance in the digital age.
