Economies of the Commons (eCommons) believe that technology brings fundamental change to the way cultural heritage institutes work and the expectations their audiences have of them. Institutes are no longer the exclusive ‘holders and curators of culture’ while their audiences have become accustomed to their active roles as co-producers of culture––they want to create, curate and co-produce cultural artefacts. Through Economies of the Commons 3: Sustainable Futures for Digital Archives we encourage re-thinking and re-imagining and create a platform to discuss the challenges and future of archives.
