Archival Materialities in a Digital Age

Materiality looms large in the world of archives, whether in storage, conservation, shape or materials of the records. Increasingly records are created digitally on a hitherto unimagined scale. How do born-digital records transform our understanding of the materiality of the archive? How do digital techniques provide new insights into the materiality of older archives? Archival Materialities in a Digital Age contains a series of authoritative studies by archivists and researchers who are grappling with these issues on a daily basis. The research presented in Archival Materialities in a Digital Age shows how these challenges are causing a reconsideration of archival theories and precepts while at the same time offering a huge range of opportunities to investigate archives in new and innovative ways.Author: Goudarouli, Eirini,editor,Prescott, Andrew,editor Contributors: Goudarouli, Eirini,editor,Prescott, Andrew,editor Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 27 Feb 2025 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Oxford University Press Author/Director/Artist: Eirini Goudarouli Dimension (cm): 240x160x22 mm Package Dimension (cm): 27x241x162 mm Item Weight (g): 771 Package Weight (g): 744
