Wpływ projektowego finansowania na działalność archiwów społecznych jako możliwy problem badawczy

Impact of project financing on the operation of community archives as a possible research problem

Abstract

Community archives are grassroots documentative initiatives including the collection, storage, development, and sharing of archival materials. The paper contains a description of the project-based activities of six community archives. The data was obtained through interviews, observation, and analysis of secondary sources. The issue of the projectification of the work of community archives was included in the research project as a by-product, when it emerged while the author was exploring the research questions concerning the employees of community archives as well as how such initiatives are funded and what challenges they have to face. In the archives under examination, the issue of projectification appears in the context of how it impacts employment and archivist works and what problems are generated by project management.
