Abstract

The ease of creating and sharing content on the web has had a profound impact on the scope, pace, and mobility of social movements, as well as on how the documents and evidence of these movements are collected and preserved. This article will focus on the process of creating a web based archive around the #blacklivesmatter movement while exploring the concept of the “living archive” through collaborative collection building around social movements. By examining this and other event-based web collections, best practices and strategies to improve the process of selection and capture of web content in Living Archives are presented.
