This document discusses how crowdsourcing and user participation can promote collaborative creativity in archives. It notes that the way documents are created has changed and the purposes and functions of archives must change as well to include tagging, commenting, wikis, indexing, transcribing, and mashups by users. This shifts archives toward a participatory model where users actively engage with and contribute to archives, forming networks and potentially more cohesive communities. However, it raises questions around control, authority, and maintaining diversity in a participatory crowd-sourced archive.
