Pararchive: Open Access Community Storytelling and the Digital Archive

Mutibwa, Daniel H.; Philip, Fiona

Abstract

Funded under the AHRC Digital Transformations in Community Research Co-Production in the Arts and Humanities and led by Simon Popple (University of Leeds), Pararchive (http://pararchive.com/) aims to co-produce a new open ‘access’ digital resource that facilitates engagement with and use of public archival material online. It will allow anyone to search and collect online sources and to combine them with their own media (film, photographs and other ephemera) in order to tell their own stories, make new archives, be creative, start new projects and do their own research. Pararchive will, for example, allow communities to research and document their histories via the creative linking of their own digital content with archival material from Pararchive’s institutional partners – the BBC and the Science Museum Group.
