Building a history of the Blacksburg Electronic Village

Year: 1995

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We are developing a history of the Blacksburg Electronic Village community network; gathering a broad spectrum of materials from and about the development process.We are providing browsing and authoring access to these materials through a World-Wide Web-based information system.The system is at once both a tool for the technical work of developing design-history, and a highly democratic forum for evolving a community-history.We believe this project raises fundamental questions and possibilities regarding the concept of history itself.
