In the 21st century, feminist theorists of archival science call for changes in archival science and archival processes, such as appraisal, to give a voice to marginalized communities and thus lead to a more just society. They do this by calling for the pluralization of this scientific discipline through which different archival realities would be accepted and by introducing the concepts of ethics of care and radical empathy. In addition, the conception of the value of archival material is also changing, as is the role of archivists in its appraisal. In this case, feminist theorists call for feminist standpoint appraisal and considering the material's affective value. At the same time, an increasing number of community archives is closely related to the feminist approach to archival science. Such archives consider the affective value of archival material and cooperate with the communities they represent. At the same time, they differ significantly from traditional mainstream archives, with whom they are often not on good terms because of their unfair treatment of marginalized groups. Their goal is to achieve a more just society in which different ways of knowing will be considered equally valuable and prevent symbolic annihilation by giving a voice to marginalized communities. This paper explores and analyzes the impact of feminist theory on archival science, the change in the profession's discourse and the impact on archival practice.
