Abstract

This chapter explores the possibilities of the digital archive, using as a case study the project to digitise the vast Kaldor Public Art Projects (KPAP) archive. This case study entails consideration of the intentions of the KPAP organisation in commissioning a digital archive: to make the extraordinary store of archived materials easily available to the public; and to create a living archive, in which historical materials may be made available for referencing and creative re-use by contemporary artists, writers and researchers. Decisions on editing, redaction, censorship, privacy and copyright of archive materials were made during the construction of the digital archive: these decisions and deliberations are discussed.
