About the Book

The rise of digitisation and social media over the past decade has fostered the rise of participatory and DIY digital culture. Likewise, the archival community leveraged these new technologies, aiming to engage users and expand access to collections. This book examines the creation and development of participatory archives, its impact on archival theory, and present case studies of its real world application. Participatory Archives: Theory and practice is divided into four sections with each focused on a particular aspect of participatory archives: social tagging and commenting; transcription; crowdfunding; and outreach & activist communities. Each section includes chapters summarizing the existing literature, a discussion of theoretical challenges and benefits, and a series of case studies. The case studies are written by a range of international practitioners and provide a wide range of examples in practice, whilst the remaining chapters are supplied by leading scholars from Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This book will be useful for students on archival studies programs, scholarly researchers in archival studies who could use the book to frame their own research projects, and practitioners who might be most interested in the case studies to see how participatory archives function in practice. The book may also be of interest to other library and information science students, and similar audiences within the broader cultural heritage institution fields of museums, libraries, and galleries.

Review :
'Participatory archives is a well-crafted and readable book which provides the first in-depth study and review of participatory archives and their relationship with the main stream archives whilst analysing them and their success on their own terms. It promises to be the authority on participatory archives for the foreseeable future and will always serve as a benchmark for the first wave of participatory archive activity in the Web 2.0 world.' 'Enhanced for academia with the inclusion of a listing of the contributors and their credentials, thirty-eight pages of notes, and a six page index, Participatory Archives: Theory and Practice would well serve as a Library Science supplemental studies curriculum textbook. Impressively informative, exceptionally well organized and presented, Participatory Archives: Theory and Practice is unreservedly recommended for library staff in-service training programs, as well as the Library Science collections of corporate, governmental, college and university libraries and library systems.' 'This volume offers an overview of the literature and theory of participatory archives, followed by concrete examples in practice...Each chapter includes a rich bibliography guiding the reader to the broader literature related to different aspects of participatory archives...Participatory Archives...contributes significantly to the archival literature, especially in the current context of digital transformations focusing on openness, participation, and collaboration.' 'The case studies were the highlight of this book. From work with indigenous Nunavut communities on Project naming to a Halloween-themed drive for obsolete media (#UndeadTech), each of these stories inspired, cautioned and celebrated the creativity and scope of archival work....I would feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone in the GLAM sector who wats a balanced view of the pros, and cons, of participatory metadata creation.'
