Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork among Polish Highlanders in Chicago, the study contrasts a bottom-up audiovisual Polish Highlanders Archive run by Władysław Mrowca with the documentation practices of the Polish Highlanders Alliance of North America. Mrowca’s Archive operates partly as a complement to institutionalized archival practices, partly in response to its blind spots, and at times in tension with the Alliance’s logics and priorities. The analysis shows that bottom-up community audiovisual archiving challenges institutional archival authority across three interrelated dimensions of archival practice: content, medium, and access. Specifically, the case illustrates how including home movies and other informal recordings expands the representational field beyond institutional narratives; how amateur video foregrounds the ordinary as a form of archival evidence; and how open online circulation challenges institutional authority over representations. The article argues that community audiovisual archiving does not shape collective identity in isolation, but in relation to institutional archival practices. This perspective positions archival diasporas—understood as the circulation and reassembly of dispersed records—as central to the formation of the diasporic archive.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-026-09539-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a critical studies lens and a mixed-methods approach—combining an online survey and interviews—the study finds that technical-administrative and evidential responsibilities remain dominant, with cultural and public-oriented roles considered as secondary and optional in nature. While professionals express intrinsic motivation for broader societal engagement, structural barriers such as ambiguous policy, fragmented mandates, and resource constraints inhibit the development of multi-dimensional, socially engaged archival practices. The findings demonstrate that the transformative potential of local archives depends less on ideological divisions than on the professionals’ ability to develop strategic agency and to navigate an uncertain policy environment. The findings conclude that realizing transformative change requires integrated policy frameworks, critical-theory informed training, and strategic leadership to foster archives as genuine agents of social change by harmonizing evidential integrity and affective engagement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I do this re-interpretation of our work to construct an argument that by asserting ourselves as counternarrative professionals, we become experts, and therefore witnesses to injustice.

Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from critical archival studies, transnational memory, and sociology of knowledge, the article examines collecting and record-keeping as forms of cultural practice through which dispersed communities reckon with memories of violence and displacement while negotiating the inner diasporic identities. The article calls for a broader scholarly engagement with diasporic archives as dynamic and contested sites of cultural practice embedded in shifting politics, epistemic hierarchies, and intersectional social structures.

In recent years, the promotion of guidelines and standards, combined with technological advancements, has led to the establishment of methodologies, best practices, and the development of tools to facilitate massive digitization projects. Despite the availability of technological solutions and guidelines, digitization is mostly intended to scan documents and make the resulting images available online. This practice can be problematic in representing the complex fonds structure made of multiple relationships expressed by the archival bond, which establishes the natural ordering of documents into archival units. This is particularly relevant when the fonds also has a multimedia component, such as audiovisual material that is often reproduced on different platforms disconnected from textual documents. This article addresses the challenges linked to digitization in the archival sector and proposes a methodological framework for representing fonds according to their native organization. For this purpose, the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is employed to configure a specific model that respects the hierarchical structure of archives. In particular, this model is configured to maintain the archival bond and enhance the resource’s semantic aspect to make the IIIF model semantically interoperable. To demonstrate the adaptability of the framework to the archival domain, in this work, the “PCI-Unitelefilm” fonds of the Fondazione Archivio Audiovisivo del Movimento Operaio e Democratico (AAMOD) served as the case study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results demonstrated that archives significantly underperformed compared to other cultural institutions across awareness, experience, and user preference metrics.

Based on these findings, this study recommends a positioning strategy emphasizing archives’ educational function, introducing enhanced professional services, and strengthening awareness through the brand mantra: <i>Where History and People Today Meet.</i> This evidence-based positioning strategy offers guidance for archives seeking to broaden their user base and enhance the quality of user-oriented services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147642585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we demonstrate how archives influence alliances by (1) shaping the self-understanding of social movements and their collective memory, (2) preserving knowledge that reveals how collective forms of resistance have previously addressed (or failed to address) ideological differences and coordinated their actions, and (3) serving as spaces of dialogue and exchange.

Since the social and working life of the individual is also influential in the formation of private archives, these materials in archives vary accordingly. Travels with one’s relatives can be an important source of memory and material for expanding one’s private archive. The place, time and activities of the accommodation are recorded in diaries, notes, drafts, manuscripts and letters and often shared with family and/or friends. This type of ephemera can provide the link between accommodation, communication and memory as writing material that records the moment. Simple writing and communication materials carry today’s location information. Usually designed as note papers and envelopes, hotel stationery can also be used as promotional material.
