The digital archive is often described in opposition to its physical counterpart. Media theorist Wolfgang Ernst has coined the term “dynarchive” to describe the former, a phrase that neatly contrasts digital archival remixability with the statis of the physical archive and its hierarchical fond structure. The article both uses and questions this characterization by examining the archive’s physical and digital document practices in three areas: (1) Hierarchical collection description versus individual document description; (2) Original order versus relevance-based results; and (3) Archival selection practices and the illusion of completeness. Archival structure and description have been central to the authority and evidentiary value of archival documents. Yet both the market logics of the internet and criticism from historically oppressed groups have challenged these connections. Using the dynarchive as a conceptual frame, this article examines archival digitization's potential for decolonization of the archive via its fragmentation into a non-hierarchical web of interrelated documents.

Human Losses

This paper considers one of the urgent problems of the great Patriotic war history - the irrevocable human losses during the great Patriotic war. In the 21st century mass sources (electronic databases and databanks) were distributed. Some of them can be used while studying how local people of the Kuibyshev (now - Samara) Region participated in the military operations in 1941-1945. The paper analyzes information opportunities of the generalized databank Memorial and the consolidated database of the all-Russian information and search center Fatherland. The paper also analyzes the electronic database of the irrevocable human losses of the Kuibyshev Region that is founded on The Memory book and made by the author of the paper. The databank Memorial and the database Fatherland are on the Internet and help to determine the fate or find the information about the dead or missing relatives and friends as well as to determine their burial place. Sections of the victims are accompanied by links as well as by digital copies of archival documents that confirm the information about the date, place of service, death and burial of soldier. Electronic resources have unique features and value for achieving the historical truth about the price of Victory.

Comprehensive Framework

Self-service technology is growing enormously across the globe, but there is no clear theory that unites us in order to understand this type of service. It suggests an extensive conceptual frame, which includes numerous well known attitude theories, to illustrate how attitudes have a central role to play in shaping self-service intentions and behaviour. The system enables better consumers’ decisions to be understood and forecast through the detailed analysis of customer expectations towards the use of a technology-based auto service. You use the Internet to explain how our system can be used to research customer conduct relating to a certain self-service technology. Takes perspectives on technology-based self-service from the current literature and also integrates several specific features of the internet that influence theory. Discusses the practical effects of our marketing model and offers recommendations for future studies on technology-based self-service in general and the Internet in particular. It also contributes to attitudinal literature with its integrative approach to theory.

With the widespread and easier access of the internet, many people have started to use various social networking sites each catering to their needs. It has been observed that most users prefer to use the same social media handle or username on multiple sites for easier management. This makes it possible to get a hold of the publicly available information about the user. But, with the increase in privacy protections and user restrictions, investigators often struggle to gather information about a user. We propose an automated software to perform this job which uses Open-Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT) methods where all publicly available information of a user is gathered in an intelligently structured format all at one place. The software will search various social networking sites for the required user profile and gather all publicly available information. This information will then be available to investigators with the facility to export in various digital document formats.

This paper offers a conspectus of several online dance archives made in the context of the Portuguese research project TKB. The online searches we conducted from 2018 to the end of 2019 suggested four broad categories of resources for what one may call ‘online dance archives’. Aiming to observe how dance resources are available on the internet, we made each category correspond to a different operation – to collect (to build up a collection), to accumulate (to gather almost random material), to store (to organize according to a set of rules), to assemble (to compose and curate material). And we posed the same set of questions: for each of these categories: what is the mission of the archive, who are its subjects and objects, and which community of users does it bring together? The outcome is both a general overview, and the possibility of a comparative approach. Our original motivation has been to survey and to analyse a sample of available online resources for dance documentation and/or archiving, in order to feed TKB future projects and experiences. Starting from the TKB project perspective, and aiming at categorizing the different approaches to storage, curation, ownership and availability reflected by those archival platforms, we finally identified three major challenges in the relation between dance and the digital archive: the question of access, the ontology of dance and archive – what it is, what it has been, and what ‘dance and archiving’ can become in the future –, and the ‘Will to archive’ (cf. Lepecki 2010 ). Each one of these challenges will eventually provoke new questions as to the future of the TKB project and of its team of researchers, and the nature of the work they may undertake.

Archival Practices

The Internet has democratized archiving in new ways.  A dominant form of the new digital archive is the fan archive, which seeks to preserve and make accessible highly specific sections of popular culture.  The will to archive is driven by affect and fans help to foster a sense of devotion and representation through their archival work.  By analysing the role Korean pop (K-pop) fan archives have played in fostering the Korean wave, this paper will explore how archives not only represent communities but also construct their own.  In doing so, it suggests emerging archival practices arise most prominently in the affective space, unbound by traditionalism.

Modern digital archives are modern archives which in big computer devices (servers), preserve archived original document overlooking the moment is produced. Archives in Kosovo assessment of archival documents make in two directions. First; selection of classical documents (on paper) with the value to be transformed into digital documents, and second; selection of contemporary documents produced by institutions of computer and internet era. Management of these digital documents requires procedures and professional standards for its storage and processing by the archive, in order to be ready to serve researchers and interested parties. Access to digital documents should be fast, simple procedures, providing documentation from the penetration of ‘hackers’ and people badly intention. To fulfil its mission digital document should ensure and complement the appearance of the original document. Since the user does not have the option of intervention and change in the document. Should work in protect emblem, which protects the entire area of the document in the form of molten seal, which also shows the ownership of certain archive. Safety documentation and document base by external users will be able to organize, deposit and stored at three levels: Server (1) be stored (saved) archival documents for use by the applicant; Server (2) stored data of the first and simultaneously updates added by continuous processing of new documents; and Server (3) is not accessible from outside through digital network, but stored all digital archive documentation and from here there should be no often exit. In Server 3 only entered document and stored as recent bank. From there, the document will be drawn only if it is missing or damaged document on server 1 and 2.Thus, through this categorization could be provided for long time electronic documents (digital), until to new modern inventions of modern digitalization technology that would ensure the preservation of documents for the ‘real’ long-term or permanent time.

Memory is fallible. But even when it can be relied upon there is an intrinsic limit to its longevity - as people die, so too do their memories and the ability for those still living to appreciate what was once remembered. For personal and private details, such as an individual's first holiday, or the way their mother looked when she once walked into a room, there is almost something beautiful about those types of memories remaining the property of the individual remembering them; it is perhaps fitting that they die with the person who can remember. However, for historical events, capturing and preserving memories can be extremely important in a whole manner of ways. Of course, the 'reality' of past events, such as wars and natural disasters, are multifaceted - there is no single truth to these events, so to gain a full appreciation for how things were during these monumental events, we need to be able to access the viewpoints of many different people in many different ways. The internet has helped with the creation and collation of archives of materials that provide us with a means of accessing the different 'realities' of past events. However, simply uploading swathes of first-hand accounts and dozens of photographs is not always enough to fully capture these 'realities' or encourage individuals to mine these archives for information. Clearly, the need for a new approach to archiving and the presentation of those archives is needed. It is with that in mind that Professor Hidenori Watanave and his team have embarked on a series of different, but related projects. Based at The University of Tokyo Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies, Watanave's team is focused on finding new and innovative ways of drawing the public's attention to the value of archived materials and creating motivations for the use of them.

The ultimate objective of every digitization project of archival holdings is to create digital master document - copy that would facilitate searching through archival holdings and eliminate potential damage risks during consulting original documents in archives’ reading rooms as well as during handling and using originals while preparing publications and exhibitions of archival documents kept in archival institutions. Therefore the creation of a digital master document implies previous defining of adequate quality parameters and later verifying, by means of careful and rigorous control, whether defined quality has been achieved. The paper deals with digital document quality control as an important element in the chain of creating, managing and long term preservation of e-documents created by digitization, stating that the only worth keeping digital master documents are those that passed through thorough quality control.

Abstract Ian Milligan’s History in the Age of Abundance? How the Web Is Transforming Historical Research (2019) presents and interrogates the challenges and opportunities that born-digital materials have for historians. Milligan argues that historians who wish to grapple with the archived internet need to think much more aggressively about engaging with digital methods and tools that can complement and extend the well-honed practices of close reading with approaches that can help analyze the vast and often unstructured archives of internet data. In this AHR Review Roundtable, three historians—Jo Guldi, Tim Hitchcock, and Michelle Moravec, all of whom incorporate digital approaches and concerns into their work—engage with a set of questions developed by Digital Scholarship Librarian Daniel J. Story, to discuss Milligan’s treatment of the digital archive of the web and its implications for historians’ work. Milligan offers a response to these insights and critiques, emphasizing the need for the historical discipline to change from within and build upon its valuable qualities.

In contemporary Poland, the concept of a digital archive has developed as a digital repository that publishes archives on the Internet, which is a kind of virtual copy of the archive; its features, such as the ability to freely shape it and availability are typical features of virtual creations. The largest digital archives in terms of resources published on the Internet include the project of the National Digital Archives, the Polish Genealogical Society and the Central Archives of Historical Records. About 11 million digital photos have been presented on the website of the Polish Genealogical Society, mainly records and marital status records, largely organized in terms of content according to their historical nature, with a search engine according to the geographical criterion and with extensive indexes. The „Geneteka” index search engine covers approximately 31 million records from the 16th to the 21st century. This repository is an example of how a digital archive can creatively develop the basic goals of traditional archives: collecting, storing, processing and sharing archives.
