Welcome to Archives*Open

The paint is still drying and the chrome still needs a bit more polishing, but I am nonetheless ready to launch Archives*Open, a blog about archives, access, community, and the web, where we serve as a platform for archivists and other professionals in the field to announce their Web 2.0 archival projects.

This makes this blog not only a promotional platform, but also a source of inspiration for others thinking about embarking on technologically innovative, educational and fun projects that promote community access to archival material and effectively bring the community closer to archival material in a digital environment.

If your archives is launching:

• An interactive website
• An online gallery
• A blog
• A micro-blogging account such as those found on Twitter
• A wiki
• A podcast
• A mashup
• A virtual place in Second Life
• An online community on a social networking website such as Facebook
• ...or any other cool, innovative use of technology...

Leave a comment with your name (personal or corporate), project title, and a URL.

Or, contact me: archives.open@gmail.com

Spread the word: Archives*Open is open.
