The objective is to verify the similarities and specificities aimed by the literature for the planning and implementation of digital repositories for archival and library purposes from the Information Science perspective. As the phenomenon of digital transformation in archival records and bibliographic records management occurs, discuss the applications of the theoretical foundations of Archival Science, Library Science, and Information Science in new ways of storing records go deeper into theoretical aspects in the literature of the respective areas which compete support theories applied to digital repositories that have theoretical intersections with Information Science. In this sense, this investigation starts with the following question: "what are the similarities and differences from the point of view of Information Science, the planning and implementation of digital repositories in Archival Science, Library Science?". Therefore, qualitative and bibliographic research was used to elucidate the interdisciplinarity of Information Science to the use of digital repositories for Archival and Library Science. The results suggested similarities between the two types of digital repositories in terms of providing access and, for that, preserving the records, however, archival repositories differ by the necessity to preserve extrinsic elements of archival records.
