[Personal_archives] digital personal archives dialogue

[Hobbs, Catherine]

Hi Everyone,

As promised, here is the set-up of the next dialogue.  I have saved my document to the SISPA space on the website.  I really encourage you to look at the Personal Digital Archives blogspot.  There's a lot of interesting resources there.

Looking forward to this,
Catherine

Personal Archives in New Guises: Arrangement Issues within Digital Complexities
SISPA dialogue:  4 April-18 April, 2012.

Participants are invited to think about how arrangement translates into archival practice as we deal with born-digital records.  What are the issues that surround sites of creation and personal arrangements as we look to show the context of digital records?  Are there useful concepts from our past which are renewed in the complex and quick-paced realm of wired lives?  How are archivists approaching the digital records they do process currently from donors whose fonds are hybrid analogue-digital and which are received on diskettes and hard drives?  What does this tell us as we consider the infinitely more complex lives lived on multiple devices and with dispersed storage in the Cloud?

Please look at the following to prepare for the discussion:
