Digital Commonwealth, Community Media Meet-up: Archiving Community 
Storytelling: Challenges and Opportunities

Location: University of the West of Scotland, Paisley Campus, High 
Street, Paisley, PA1 2BE Date: 13th March 2015 – 10am-3.30pm

Digital Storytelling through social media allows people to shape and 
develop their own stories on the internet, using free and accessible 
digital and mobile tools. However, publishing and generating content 
through these interactive, 3rd party environments often generates 
questions of ownership, context and technical ability to ensure that 
community-generated or co-created stories are archived sensitively for 
future generations.

The Digital Commonwealth project (www.digitalcommonwealth.co.uk) wants 
to gather together individuals, organisations or projects interested in 
the issue of archiving digital content for a dedicated symposium to 
identify the main opportunities and challenges, share good practice and 
collaboratively generate solutions. The programme for the day covers 
technical, legal/ethical and practice components and includes 
opportunities for interactive discussion throughout.

This event will be of interest to those involved in community media, 
third sector organisations using digital and social media to represent 
their users, community organisations and academics interested in 
archiving, digital storytelling and community-based research.
