In the Wikipedia definition it is not technically in the classic sense. The Keys are not "tectonic" in nature, but a natural formation of coral and the accumulation of vegetation and sand. Wiki says that the classic definition has now been expanded to include any accumulation of islands, especially those clusters close to main bodies of land. So in today's definition, yes, the Keys are an archipelago.
