Student Online Voices Echo in University Archives

Author
  • Emily B. Collier

Abstract

Today’s student organizational records are electronic: a post to Instagram or X; an article, profile, or organizational page published to the university web or news site; or journals and newsletters released only online. These are not records that can be gathered in boxes and left on a shelf until processed. Despite the common assumption that the Internet is forever, it is turbulent and ephemeral with a changing landscape that frequently loses content. Uploaded documents are taken down, URLs are shifted or removed, and social media posts are deleted.
