Abstract
The Archiving Out of the Box project supports communities who are excluded from the historical record. The project team, including community partners from Indiana and Ohio, will collaborate on a non-custodial archiving-workflow toolkit with three new affordances. First, it requires minimal to no institutional involvement. Second, it emphasizes minimal computing and minimal cost. Finally, it is a start-to-finish approach that includes relationship building, community collection, post-production, and post-archive impact guides. In addition to the publication of two community digital archives using the toolkit, the team will distribute the Archiving Out of the Box toolkit for open peer-review and ultimately, for wider public use.
