The rise of digitisation and social media over the past decade has
fostered the rise of participatory and DIY digital culture.
Likewise, the archival community leveraged these new technologies,
aiming to engage users and expand access to collections. This book
examines the creation and development of participatory archives,
its impact on archival theory, and present case studies of its real
world application. Participatory Archives: Theory and practice is
divided into four sections with each focused on a particular aspect
of participatory archives: social tagging and commenting;
transcription; crowdfunding; and outreach & activist
communities. Each section includes chapters summarizing the
existing literature, a discussion of theoretical challenges and
benefits, and a series of case studies. The case studies are
written by a range of international practitioners and provide a
wide range of examples in practice, whilst the remaining chapters
are supplied by leading scholars from Australia, Canada, Denmark,
the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
This book will be useful for students on archival studies programs,
scholarly researchers in archival studies who could use the book to
frame their own research projects, and practitioners who might be
most interested in the case studies to see how participatory
archives function in practice. The book may also be of interest to
other library and information science students, and similar
audiences within the broader cultural heritage institution fields
of museums, libraries, and galleries.
