Treat them with the reverence of archivists': Recordkeeping and online grief communities

Year: 2016
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The poster reports early findings of an exploratory research project studying how bereaved parents of stillborn babies participate in online grief communities, and how these communities function as a particular type of archive. Emerging concepts, including the notions of archives of aspiration, continuing social existence, and archives of feeling are introduced, extendable ideas are identified, and next steps in the research are proposed.
