近年来,“社群”逐渐渗透到西方档案学术理论的分析范式中,兴起了一批社群档案活动和社群文化遗产项目。从“社群档案”概念在西方的缘起和背景出发,不难看出为什么对“社群档案”下定义如此困难。西方学者对其定义尚存在一定的模糊性和不确定性,但并不能因为缺乏一个普适性的核心概念而忽视这种新的现象,而是有必要将其融入西方社会文化背景中,更广泛、更包容地去理解社群档案的内涵。 In recent years, “community” has gradually infiltrated into the analytical paradigm of Western archival academic theory, and a number of community archival activities and community cultural heritage projects have emerged.
