Abstract

As digital archiving is heading into the next level of development and influence, we must consider the need of connecting digital archiving with more people and more resources to enhance the continuing effort. In this paper, we address the issue of engaging users in digital archiving task and forming a community of collective content creation. We propose a conceptual architecture for participative digital archiving and report a pilot project to redesign and reconstruct the archiving process of a university history. It also serves the purpose of showcasing archived content and providing reminiscence of university life for all university members.
