How can digital archives help societies confront contested pasts without merely replicating traditional historiography? Designing participatory digital commons can be a way to transcend the concept of digital archives as static repositories but make them sites of active, multi-voiced memory. Ideally, digital archives also challenge dominant interpretation frameworks and offer an important counterpoint to extractive (social media) platforms. Our paper explores how the Irish Letters 1916-1923 project, through its infrastructure and ethos, can serve as a model for participatory knowledge infrastructures.

We seek to foster exchanges on how digital infrastructures, networks and collaborative methods can enable and sustain forms of scholarship that are open, flexible and socially responsive. A way to frame this is through the concept of hybridity: an intermingling of ‘disciplines, technological and cultural practices’ which embed within them the goal of connectivity. This may be connectivity of the university or memory institutions with society through collaborative and joint engagements, or it might be providing alternative spaces for/where people can connect and interact through a hybrid network of physical and technology-mediated encounters to co-construct knowledge.’
\nWhether through scholarly reflections, concrete case studies, theoretical contributions, or policy considerations, this year we seek to explore how digital, social and institutional infrastructures can support engaged research, and nurture generosity, participation and shared creativity in the digital arts and humanities.
