@article{1439377, recid = {1439377}, author = {Potts, John,}, title = {Use and reuse of the digital archive /}, pages = {1 online resource :}, note = {Includes index.}, abstract = {This book examines the use and re-use of digital archives in a unique manner, by combining theoretical and practical approaches to the contemporary digital archive. The book brings together a range of writers - specialising in media and cultural studies, contemporary art and art history, digital and networked culture, library and museum studies - to explore the cultural impact of digital archives. Several of the essays describe the process of constructing a digital archive as a specific case study in digitising a physical archive and designing a searchable digital database as the core of the digital archive. Other chapters explore the cultural significance of digital archives in more general theoretical terms. These considerations include: the specific properties of the digital archive; its similarities and differences to the traditional paper-based archive; the ethical decisions made in the design of an archive; and the potential for creative re-use of online archived materials.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1439377}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-79523-8}, }
