Communities, Archives and New Collaborative Practices

This book examines the changing relationship between communities, citizens and the notion of the archive. Digital resources have made archiving widely accessible, and there is now a growing plurality of practices associated with collecting and curating. Using a range of case studies, this book challenges perceived barriers to collaboration between communities and archives and promotes the value of co-creation.
