>Archival practice and the academic discipline of archival studies are developing rapidly and radically in response to and anticipation of social and political forces, theoretical interventions and socio-technological developments. In this exciting time for the field, student and new professional voices continue to contribute greatly. The research conducted by students in the UK and Ireland has long made valuable contributions to the literature, helping to effect positive change in how we understand records and their management, uses and impacts. Examples from recent years include Kathleen Brennan’s research into the authenticity of tweets in the context of Trump’s administration, Alicia Chilcott’s work on protocols for describing racist records, Eliza McKee’s history of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, and Edd Mustill’s use of Marxist labour theory to illuminate the enclosure of open government data.(1) Students and new professionals bring important new ideas into archival theory and practice, and Archives and Records seeks to encourage this reshaping of the field.
