Historical Traceability and Realistic Reflections on British Community Archives
Community archives are an integral part of the diverse cultural heritage of a country or region.Historically,the tradition of local history research has laid the foundation for the emergence of community archives in the UK.Practically,the geographical,autonomous,and pluralistic characteristics of British community archives make them of importance for constructing collective memory,strengthening identity,and safeguarding community rights.The practice of community archives has broken the traditional framework of archival activities and has prompted the archival community to think about archive boundary,participatory archive model,and the inclusion of archival profession,prompting the further exploration on the practical value and theoretical significance of community archives from a broader and more dynamic perspective.
