These two ideas seem related to me in the sense that the technical questions of repository functionality (certainly content management systems, but also searching, manipulating and literally “touching” virtual artifacts in ways that one could not do with the actual objects, interface design, layout, publishing possibilities, communications and social media interactions) speak directly to the issue of historical writing: what kind of narratives, arguments, interpretations, curations, arrangements of historical materials will we pursue? Thanks! Michael

The questions I have that could be folded into these topics involve the technical needs historians have for archiving their research, particularly regarding the functionalities of digital repositories and content management systems.

One area I am currently worrying at is how the digital archive (in its several forms) maps onto to new forms of historical writing – is the technology of the archive determining?
