User Participation in Archival Knowledge Structures: Archival Description as Domain and Testing Ground

Bradley Wiles

This paper presents a critical analysis of disciplinary discussions on user-generated contributions to institutional archives collections metadata and attempts to assess its impact on professional archivists’ approach to archival description. It frames archival description as a distinct knowledge domain and considers the possibilities, limitations, and contradictions of expanding this key function of archival work beyond the professional purview. It discusses how enhanced user participation might contribute to the knowledge and information infrastructures of archives and what this might suggest for archival description going forward. It identifies various practical, theoretical, and ethical implications for archives emerging from this body of literature, all undergirded by the role of technology in shaping the cultural and historical phenomena that archives seek to capture. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of archives’ renewed place in knowledge building in a digital society and offers suggestions for continued inquiry.

档案知识结构中的用户参与:作为领域和试验场的档案描述

本文对有关用户对机构档案馆藏元数据的贡献的学科讨论进行了批判性分析,并试图评估其对专业档案工作者档案描述方法的影响。它将档案描述构建为一个独特的知识领域,并考虑了将档案工作的这一关键功能扩展到专业范围之外的可能性、局限性和矛盾。它讨论了增强的用户参与可能如何有助于档案的知识和信息基础设施,以及这可能对未来的档案描述有何建议。它确定了从这组文献中出现的档案的各种实践、理论和伦理意义,所有这些都得益于技术在塑造档案馆试图捕捉的文化和历史现象方面的作用。本文最后简要讨论了档案在数字社会知识建设中的新地位,并为继续调查提供了建议。
