Building Companionship Between Community and Personal Archiving: Strengthening Personal Digital Archiving Support in Community-Based Mobile Digitization Projects

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.
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.
