Community archives are often viewed as repositories of knowledge and experience that are nevertheless somehow remote from the taxpayers who often fund them. However, the idea of an archive has more recently been popularized by digital resources that allow access to established archives and also permit users to create archives of their own. This book examines the changing relationship between citizens and their notions of archives. The growing number of archives, and the evolving practices associated with collecting and curating, mean that we are now in the process of remaking the very idea of the archive. Communities have been at the heart of this exciting work and their experiences are both central to our understanding of this new terrain and in challenging the traditional histories behind the control of knowledge and power.

Industry Reviews

"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 University
