Description
This innovative book examines the changing relationship between communities, citizens and the notion of the archive.
Archives have traditionally been understood as repositories of knowledge and experience, remote from the ordinary people who fund and populate them, however digital resources have led to a growing plurality of archives and the practices associated with collecting and curating. This book uses a broad range of case studies which place communities at the heart of this exciting development, to illustrate how their experiences are central to our understanding of this new terrain which challenges traditional histories and the control of knowledge and power.

Reviews / Votes
"A testament to the vibrancy, depth, and diversity of collaborative research practices involving archives and archiving in the UK. It examines the challenges of collaboration, but even handedly celebrates the many benefits afforded by such modes of work." Richard Clay, Newcastle UniversityMore details
