Abstract
Lorna gave the closing keynote presentation. From 2021-25, the Our Heritage, Our Stories (OHOS) project was funded through the AHRC’s Towards a National Collection Programme to explore ways that the UK’s rich, fragmented, and vulnerable collections of community generated digital heritage can be made open, linked, and shared. The project explored way that technology design can empower communities to tell their own stories, on their own terms. The talk will discuss practical insights from OHOS, and situate the project in the broader conceptual framework of critical digital heritage. It will discuss both current digital ecosystems of community heritage, and emerging digital afterlives for CGDC that enable this content to complement, current and contradict official historical narratives.
