The appraisal is a set of critical processes and skills in records management and archival practice. It is not an elementary operation; thus, to some archival writers, it belongs to the background of archivists' work. On the other hand, other archivists consider appraisal a critical archival process. This paper thematises the value of digital archival materials. The author starts with a reflection of value and appraisal and a literature review. Then, the author examines various digital archival content and their value in archives and repositories with distinctive missions. After that, the author reduces the catalogue of values that governs appraisal operations and analyses the notion of the value of digital content. Finally, the paper provides essential guidance for applying consistent appraisal criteria on potential digital archival content.
