CENSURERENDE KONTEKSTER: At finde en virtuel samlings værdi

This article sets out to exploit the leeway
that is allowed, perhaps encouraged, by the
notion of collection. The article proposes that
collections are apprehended in relation to
the connections/relationships that underpin
them. One understands these connections
by invoking context but, due to the subject
matter of the article, this is also seen to be
problematic. The article focuses specifically
on research being conducted on a EU funded
Information Technology project. The aim
of this project is to develop web-based
tools to facilitate work in film archives. The
collection with which the article is concerned
is not, though, those held in the archives
but, rather, the collection of individuals,
institutions and resources that have been
drawn together to work on this project.
Against this background the article discusses
the nature of the work being conducted and
the problems that have been encountered in
realising the vision that drives the research
forward. In the conclusion the term virtual
collection is cast in another light, which looks
less to technology and more to the social and
material conditions under which collections
both acquire and communicate value.
