Abstract

This chapter discusses the issues surrounding the use of digital technologies by community archives. Community groups often find that the technical, financial, and logistical demands of maintaining digital resources are considerable. This tempts them to use commercial platforms whose longevity is not assured and which raise issues of privacy and manipulation. As everyone is increasingly working in a digital environment, the quality of that environment affects day-to-day life almost as profoundly as the physical environment. The health of the digital ecosystem on which we all depend affects the ability of community archives to achieve their aims of creating shared spaces of self-representation, collaboration, and memory. Every day seems to bring further revelations of the manipulation of social media, security breaches, personal abuse, and digital disinformation. These anxieties can make it seem that the vision of a digital space promoting community self-representation and collaboration is under threat.
社区档案和因特网的健康
本章讨论了社区档案使用数字技术的相关问题。社区团体经常发现维护数字资源的技术、财政和后勤需求是相当大的。这诱使他们使用商业平台,这些平台的寿命无法保证,而且会引发隐私和操纵问题。随着每个人越来越多地在数字环境中工作,这种环境的质量对日常生活的影响几乎与物理环境一样深刻。我们所依赖的数字生态系统的健康影响着社区档案馆实现其目标的能力,即创造自我表现、协作和记忆的共享空间。似乎每天都有更多关于社交媒体操纵、安全漏洞、个人虐待和数字虚假信息的披露。这些焦虑让人觉得,数字空间促进社区自我代表和合作的愿景似乎受到了威胁。
