We ask:
📍Where is our archive?

📍Who cares for it?
Our guiding statements—Take it down, Take it slow, Take it back—connect critical archival studies with ecological justice to imagine an archival ecosystem beyond Big Tech.

My review of @ianmilligan1.bsky.social's Averting the Digital Dark Age is out in Internet Histories! 📖✨

It shows how the imaginary of the "digital dark age" saw a bizarre array of actors mobilise to create what are now known as web archives that are shaped by their anxieties & hopes for the future.
