Case of the Puzzling Personal Digital Archive
Archives
“Case of the Puzzling Personal Digital Archive” by writers Wendy Hagenmaier, Oscar Gittemeier and Michelle Kirk is a presentation hosted by NYU’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program. The program is working in collaboration with NYU Libraries and Coalition for Networked Information. This is run under their communications and sciences department. The presentation is an introduction to people who are trying to preserve personal information and sort it into an organized way that is easy to look and search through. The presentation itself is an interesting and colorful powerpoint for viewers in order to keep them engaged. This is especially important for people who are not familiar with programs. The presentators will introduce the concept of preserving personal information and how to do it without encountering more problems in a funny, comedic way.This adds an aspect of relatability for the readers in order to keep them following along in what is usually an extensive and complicated process. This presentation is valuable because it allows viewers an easy introduction into how to preserve personal information, the dangers of not doing so, and the correct way to do so. Preserving information can be a quite tricky and tedious task, with even the smallest errors resulting in incorrectly preserved and processed information.

Digital Pedagogy
Pedagogy
Digital pedagogy is using digital tools to enhance teaching and learning experience. It offers the possibility of enabling more interaction among students and instructors and increasing student academic success. Educators who incorporate digital pedagogy in classroom re-creates the contemporary worlds which their students encounter every day. This paper provides a brief introduction to digital pedagogy.
“Digital Pedagogy” is a one page descriptive article written by Matthew N.O. Sadiku in order to help guide a method of teaching when presenting an academic or theoretical concept. Considering that technology is constantly evolving and changing, it is important for professors and teachers to be kept updated on new lingo and practices of digital technology so that when they interact directly with their students they can be able to relate on a fresher and newer basis. In using a basics following-a;ong sheet like this one, it has been proven to rapidly increase the success rates for many students as there is common ground and understanding between them and the professor. This would be a great item to add to the archiving website because it offers introductions and conclusions that professors can use when giving a lecture or teaching in class. Not only does it help outline the necessary lessons of digital pedagogy, it offers direct resource citations that can be used as direct examples for the students. Lastly, it shares the pros and cons of such a topic, giving students a direct comparison of pros and cons to learn from. This lesson can be very complex and overly complicated for many instructors to teach their students, but with the help of this sheet it can be made simplistic, but still remain informational and accurate.

RB203: From Digital Uprising to Digital Society
Pedagogy
“RB203: From Digital Uprising to Digital Society” is a podcast episode published and released by The Platform on June 1st, 2012. This podcast will be an exemplary addition to the archiving website because it takes a real life historical event and relates it into terms of digital media and how ever advancing and changing technology can be used to control masses of people. Specifically, how whether or not digital media and digital technology had a direct impact in bringing about the “Arab Spring”. The Arab Spring is defined as “a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s.” These questions lead the podcast to delve into the specific communications infrastructure of the country of Tunisia, and how its government controlled digital technology may have played a major role in the protests. This is a great podcast episode to listen to because it relates what seems to be a simple idea, and connects it into the destruction of an entire government and the surrounding countries. It is immensely important for students to learn how the actions we make through technology can have a negative impact and can be used by a government to control its citizens.

Digital Curation/Digital Archiving: A View from the National Archives of Australia
Archives
Within his article “Digital Curation/Digital Archiving: A View from the National Archives of Australia,” Adrian Cunningham tackles the true definition of the term digital archive. Bringing in a perspective from the National Archives of Australia (NAA), Cunningham shares his hands-on experience of working as an archivist. There are three main messages Cunningham aims to get across, which are: the difference between curation and archiving, the difference between digital archives and digital libraries/museum, and the need for archival intervention.

Personal digital archiving for journalists: a “private” solution to a public problem
Personal Archiving
Within her article “Personal digital archiving for journalists: a “private” solution to a public problem” Sarah King aims to inform journalists on the benefits of digital preservation. Although librarians and archivists are all aware of the importance of preservation, many journalists are not. King explains how much of today’s journalism is published directly online which means libraries cannot archive these items as they only have short-term access through subscriptions. King makes it clear that personal preservation of articles and documents by journalists is the next step forward in the realm of digital archiving for the 21st century.

#MeToo in Sweden: Museum Collections, Digital Archiving and Hashtag Visuality
Digital Humanities
Uimonen discusses the Nordic Museum in Stockholm’s #MeToo collection and the public submissions to the collection. It also “analyses the museum’s rationale for collecting what is considered to be difficult cultural heritage.” Unlike most archives, it does not contain images. The article proposes a new visuality in digital archiving: “hashtag visuality.” The article claims it is visual representation of social media. The author argues that the amount this visuality for the hashtag occurs in Sweden is a statement regarding sexism and violence in a country that is believed to be feminist. The author states hashtag visuality has made an impact on how this topic is discussed and acted upon and that it has become a movement.
I think this journal’s discussion of hashtags impact on archiving and movements is important to consider for archiving purposes. It not only directly mentions archiving, but also how these hashtags start movements that need archiving work to be done. I liked how it considered a new form of visuality and how that impacts community archiving. I believe this article is different than other data in the archive and considers how social media is shaping human experience and movements. I think this is unique because older archiving would never consider how hashtags can influence the field.

Building Companionship Between Community and Personal Archiving: Strengthening Personal Digital Archiving Support in Community-Based Mobile Digitization Projects
Personal Archives
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.
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 digital archives: Design decisions: A best practice example
Curation
This conference by Meyer et al discusses the concept of digital archive building and the best methods to, “search for an applicable and adequate data or document model [and] software tools which meets the requirements” (Meyer et al) of making digital library applications. Within their conference, they explained how there is not an ideal document model or system, there is not a “one-size-fits-all” (Meyer et al), but that each document model or system is unique to the information that is being digitally archived. This conference goes in-depth on the technical implementation of aspects of a digital archive, factors that will ultimately determine the sustainability and the maintenance of the archive. These ideas are all included within the “digital archive project DARL (Digitales Archiv Rostocker Liederbuch, engl.)” (Meyer et al).
I found the information found within this conference pertinent to the overall understanding of a digital archive. I think that it can be easy to lose sight of how archives, while they have the same goal and purpose, are all unique and, thus, made differently. Understanding how an archive is made is extremely important and this resource helps readers to understand the technical side of design decisions that impact an archive in big ways.

Ensuring the Legacy of Self-Taught and Local Artists: A Collaborative Framework for Preserving Artists’ Archives
Personal Archives
Colin Post’s article focuses on the importance of institutions establishing a collaborative relationship with local artist. The collaboration comes from the personal archives of artists sharing their content to institutions. To ensure the long-term preservation of artists’ personal archives, institutions need to work collaboratively with artists in their local communities, offering artists the skills, resources, and support necessary to create and sustain personal archives. For this kind of collaborative relationship to succeed, institutions will need to develop new models for working with potential donors, emphasizing skill-building and support for the artist to manage his or her personal archives as critical goals, in addition to the acquisition of the material itself into institutional holdings. These institutions will provide workshops and information on how local artist can manage their personal archives. As artist manage their own archives in the best way, the institutions can be a repository for long-term community access to those artist materials should they choose to donate their work. Post uses a real-life example of an artist named Cornelio Campos who worked together with the Durham County Library.
This example further re-enforces Post’s stance in the importance of a collaborative relationship with local artist and institutions to preserve works of art in any form. Post’s explanations make it clear that the benefits of this outweighs any reservations.
