Abstract: Knowledge service is a trend in the development and utilization of archival resources. By bibliometrics (literature measurement) and mapping knowledge domains, this paper comprehensively sorts out the relevant literature on archival knowledge service at home and abroad in the past 15 years, and finds that domestic research hotpots in this field include basic theoretical research, archival data resources integration, knowledge organization of archival resources, and archival knowledge service construction, while foreign research focuses include information resources integration methods, archival knowledge service practices and interlibrary resources integration and utilization. This paper makes a comparative research of domestic and foreign research process from four dimensions: systematicness, depth, applicability and interdisciplinarity, and points out that more attention should be paid to theory integration, methods and emerging technologies on resource organization and others in the following researches. The application of relevant knowledge service platforms and tools will be promoted and deepened in the practical level, and the application mode of "digging deep wells in small fields" will be the mainstream in the specific application practice of archival knowledge service.
