How do researchers, journalists and artists work with web archives? What kinds of tools, methods and approaches do they use? What other kinds of tools might support critical and creative repurposing of archived web materials?
This project explores how web archives are used by researchers and practitioners. Drawing on previous collaborations around critical technical practices and critical data practices, it aims to support co-learning and sharing across fields as well as the development of tools, methods and approaches for collective inquiry with web archives.
