Abstract

Abstract:This essay discusses implementation of a community-based participatory research project with the goal to reactivate a dormant community archive. The openED project is the focus of this case study as it provides insight into everyday documentation practices through an assessment and inventory of the archival holdings of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center (UCIMC) in Illinois. Established in 2000, the UCIMC is a grassroots collective of citizen journalists, artists, and community organizers. As an early hub in the nascent and global Indymedia network, this collective represents an antiglobalist and anticorporate agenda through magnifying community voices of underrepresented and marginalized groups. The UCIMC archive reflects this agenda, as it is a community-created collection of physical and digital materials representing the everyday documentation of the organization. From protest signs to radio and news articles, the core collection of member-created and member-collected material exists to support the activist mission of Indymedia. From the outset, the openED project faced a number of daunting challenges, both in locating the archival material and as the UCIMC entered a period of severe financial crisis in early 2019. This article is a reflection on lessons learned and strategies applied to create accessible and collaborative everyday documentation at the UCIMC community archive.

开放ED档案中的混沌与概念

摘要：本文讨论了一个基于社区的参与性研究项目的实施，该项目旨在重新激活一个休眠的社区档案。openED项目是本案例研究的重点，因为它通过评估和盘点伊利诺伊州厄巴纳-香槟独立媒体中心（UCIMC）的档案，深入了解日常文档实践。UCIMC成立于2000年，是一个由公民记者、艺术家和社区组织者组成的基层集体。作为新生的全球Indymedia网络的早期中心，这个集体通过放大代表性不足和边缘化群体的社区声音，代表了一个反全球化和反企业议程。UCIMC档案反映了这一议程，因为它是一个由社区创建的物理和数字材料集合，代表了组织的日常文档。从抗议标志到广播和新闻文章，成员创建和成员收集的核心材料集旨在支持Indymedia的活动家使命。从一开始，openED项目就面临着许多艰巨的挑战，无论是在定位档案材料方面，还是在2019年初UCIMC进入严重金融危机时期之际。本文反思了在UCIMC社区档案馆创建可访问和协作的日常文档所吸取的经验教训和应用的策略。
