How do archives and other cultural institutions such as museums
determine the boundaries of a particular community, and of their
own institutional reach, in constructing effective strategies and
methodologies for selecting and maintaining appropriate material
evidence? This book offers guidance for archivists, record managers
and museums professionals faced with such issues in their daily
work. This edited collection explores the relationships between
communities and the records they create at both practical and
scholarly levels. It focuses on the ways in which records reflect
community identity and collective memory, and the implications of
capturing, appraising and documenting these core societal elements
– with particular focus on the ways in which recent advances in
technology can overcome traditional obstacles, as well as how
technologies themselves offer possibilities of creating new virtual
communities. It is divided into five themes: - a community archives
model - communities and non-traditional record keeping - records
loss, destruction and recovery - online communities: how technology
brings communities and their records together - building a
community archive. Readership: This book will appeal to
practitioners, researchers, and academics in the archives and
records community as well as to historians and other scholars
concerned with community building and social issues.
