It also explores new definitions of what community archives might encompass, particularly in relation to disciplines outside the archives.\n\nOver ten years have passed since the first volume of Community Archives, and inspired by continued research as well as by the formal recognition of community archives in the UK, the community archives movement has become an important area of research, recognition and appreciation by archivists, archival scholars and others worldwide. Increasingly the subject of papers and conferences.
