Abstract: The article focuses on the intersection of social justice and archival practices, specifically examining how the National Archives of Iran reflects the fundamental principles of social justice as outlined by UNESCO. It defines social justice as the equitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and resources within society, emphasizing the role of archives in promoting these values through fair access to information and active participation in archival processes. The research identifies a gap in existing studies regarding social justice in the context of Iran's National Archives and suggests that while infrastructure development is prioritized, a more balanced approach addressing all aspects of archival processes is necessary for achieving social justice. Recommendations include creating a unified policy document and enhancing public access to archival resources. [Extracted from the article]
