The making of a digital archive, by a non-archivist

Abstract

This online exhibit has been created to share relevant insights about the process of preparing a digital archive for junior and senior scholars who have no training as archivist. The exhibit is based on my experience as a non-archivist making David Wurfel digital archive. The reflections and ideas captured in this online exhibit were triggered and enriched by multiple readings and the project team. The hope is that the ideas discussed in this exhibit will be helpful to all of those who may not have training as archivists but may be interested in preserving and sharing material via its digitization and display through an online archive.
