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.
