Knowledge Management is a strategy for promoting the sharing of knowledge among employees in an organization. As such, archivists, as professionals in archival units or archives, as management spaces, can use it to improve their activities. This article analyzes the relationship between knowledge management and the archival context, based on scientific production in the Web of Science database. Methodologically, it is theoretical in nature, based on a scoping literature review and the PRISMA-ScR 2020 protocol, using the bibliographic survey technique in the selected database. The research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, predominantly qualitative. As a result, we can infer that the study highlights the breadth of knowledge management in various contexts, demonstrating its importance in organizations and the community, especially when combined with Archivology. Despite the high scientific production of Knowledge Management in recent years, there is a low scientific production in the relationship between the areas analyzed. This study is essential to advance the understanding of this relationship between knowledge management, archives and archivists, in other words, the archival context, in terms of the benefits and implications of this management approach.
