“Archiving” by Digital Writing and Research Lab is a family-friendly podcast episode released and published March 18th, 2014. In this episode of the archive the host, Megan Eatman, speaks to members of the Digital Writing and Research Lab’s Digital Archiving group alongside co-chair Rappaport’s Center’s Human Rights Archive Working Group. They discuss their various approaches and struggles when it comes to the world of digital archiving. The episode typically focuses on the challenges of having to build an entire digital archiving website from scratch and their struggles with making sure they are gathering the necessary different forms of media that are seen as necessary for creating an authentic and efficient digital archiving platform. This episode of this podcast is a great addition to the archiving website because you hear first hand experiences of experts in the field of archiving go into details on the struggles they face that are typical struggles that most of us will most likely have to deal with in the realm of digital archiving. Not only do they speak about their own personal experiences, they give advice to others through a variety of given questions submitted by listeners who plan on being involved.

Teaching Early Modern English Literature from the Archives
Subject
Pedagogy
Description
This book looks at the fundamental differences between traditional and electronic texts and the issues of studying each exclusively. It outlines how teaching students using both varieties of text in tandem can be beneficial in understanding the material. To do so, it examines a variety of different texts, both digital and physical, from between 1473 and 1700. It also uses the study of music, atlases, and other forms of media to further the students’ learning of early American literature.

Subject
Pedagogy
Description
The authors of this piece aim to introduce the use of primary documents in the classroom to better engage students with the history they are learning. The article offers insight into inverted course models: those that emphasize hands-on learning in classrooms and content delivery outside of them. Furthermore, they apply this method to museums and archives, displaying how introducing additional primary sources can spur a more enriching learning experience.

I believe this journal is an excellent addition to the archive because, beyond being recently published, it also presents ideas on how two aspects of archiving can connect and help one another. I think this is also important to consider in other ways archiving can cross over. The author’s connection between personal digital archiving and community-based archiving not only makes sense, but should be obvious. Encouraging community members to share their stories for their platform to be promoted by the community archive seems like an obvious idea. Han even includes how minorities who have been left out of archives can be considered and included in the future through their own archives.

Building Companionship Between Community and Personal Archiving: Strengthening Personal Digital Archiving Support in Community-Based Mobile Digitization Projects
Subject
Personal Archives
Description
In this article, the author presents the connection between personal digital archiving and community-based archiving and how they should work to assist one another. The author suggests that community-based projects can help provide flexibility and sustainability. Han uses an assessment of two community archive projects as an example to how they can support personal digital archive projects while maintaining long-term preservation and avoiding breaking their laid out objectives. The author proposes three ways community-based projects can help personal digital archives because Han believes collaboration between these groups is mutually beneficial and good for the community.

Seen but Not Heard: A Case Study of K-12 Web Archiving and the Importance of Student Participation in the Archives
Subject
Pedagogy
Description
This article examines different attempts by educators to incorporate web archiving into their curriculums when teaching student from K-12, believing that utilizing archives can empower students to contribute their views to the “historical record”. Initially, archivists did not prioritize in reaching out or teaching K-12 students, believing they would not be capable of working with primary sources that are crucial to archives. However, as standardized testing and access to the Internet increased, this began to change, and more educators incorporated archiving into their curriculums. As students progress through their classes, they are exposed to higher levels of archival engagement and gradually learn how to identify and analyze archival information. Eventually, students will be able to give resources to participatory archives, web archives where the users add contributions instead of professional archivists. Even though there are many benefits to participatory archiving, many teachers face challenges in incorporating them into their classrooms. Many schools have strict curriculums with no room for adding lesson in web archiving. In addition to this, many teachers struggle in how to evaluate their students’ web archiving. Many of them are not able to determine how to properly grade this work, since there are no established standards set for them to look to.

Title
Digital Renaissance
Subject

Description
Deanna Shemek’s article is about how our current push in new digital technologies is bring about a “digital renaissance”. With the introduction of Geographic Information Systems, Augmented Reality, Virtual reality and things like a cloud or sound cloud: the term of what constitutes as art has changed. Our art is now online, between the use of Adobe cloud products and games, art is not just what we create on paper or on a canvas. Shemek’s research began as a simple preservation paper evolved to a “multimedia, online environment for study of the Italian Renaissance” that is constantly changing. With the collaboration of many countries, the Isabella d’Este Archive is a great example of the Digital Renaissance according to Shemek. Smemek then goes into and explains how archives that typically acquire and focus on early modernity materials and objects differ from archives focusing on the new and complex forms of the digital world. Shemek goes into the Teamwork, Reference Resources, Databases, Author Resources Site and Digital Editions, Visualization Projects, Mapping and Network Visualization, Big data and Machine Learning and Immersive Experience and Virtual Reality.

Between Archive and Participation: Public Memory in a Digital Age
Subject
Collective Memory
Description
In sizing up the notion of public memory, rhetoricians would be remiss not to consider the increasing influence of new media on today's remembrance culture. This article addresses memorial functions of the internet in light of recent scholarly debates about virtues and drawbacks of modern 'archival memory' as well as the paradoxical link between the contemporary public obsession with memory and the acceleration of amnesia. To explore the strengths and limitations of the internet as a vehicle of collecting, preserving, and displaying traces of the past, the article examines The September 11 Digital Archive, a comprehensive online effort to document public involvement in recording and commemorating the tragedy of 11 September, 2001.

Negotiating Community Literary Practice: Public Memory Work and the Boston Marathon Bombing Digital Archive
Subject
Collective Memory
Description
This study examines Our Marathon <http://marathon.neu.edu>, which is a digital historiography website created in response to the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15th, 2013. As a participatory archive, Our Marathon is an example of community literacy practice. This article explores the construction of community through the public memory work of the archive by examining two collections of archival artifacts: public submissions and the Boston City Archives content. This examination reveals the complexity of community construction, but also the influence of Our Marathon as a material support for the work of public memory. Highlighting the archive's negotiation between an intimate space for community participation in the wake of trauma, and its role as an open, digital archive with global reach, this article demonstrates that tensions of this negotiation are useful to highlight the power of the archive as a location of public memory construction, and can suggest ways Our Marathon and other digital historiographic projects can better foster community participation and formation through the reflexive collection, preservation, and display of archival content.
