The media environment of today is characterised by two critical
factors: the development and adoption of ubiquitous mobile devices,
and the strengthening of connectivity enabled by advances in ICT
infrastructure and social media platforms. These developments have
changed interactions and relationships between citizens and
cultural custodians, as well as the ways archives are developed,
kept, and used. Archives are now characterised by greater
socialisations and networks that actively contribute to the
signification of cultural heritage value. A range of new
stakeholders, many of whom include the public, have sought to
define what needs to be collectively remembered and forgotten. The
world in which one or a few professional archivists worked on the
sole mission of shaping how a society remembers is being displaced
by a more democratised culture and the new generation of digitally
networked archivists that are its natives. Using a range of case
studies and perspectives, this book provides insights to the many
ways that ubiquitous media have influenced archival practices and
research, as well as the social and civic consequences of
present-day archives. This book was published as a special issue of
Archives and Manuscripts.
