Archive and Narrative in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum

本研究探讨了2014年苏格兰独立公投的档案维度。它结合了两个方面的兴趣：收集“indyref”（评估和应用相关的档案原则和做法，特别是数字收集）的实际挑战和机遇，以及收集实践产生的一系列研究问题。这些问题集中在indyref“自我存档”的政治意义上，记录和策划竞选活动的迹象本身就是一个核心的竞选和网络建设策略。因此，人工制品的自我存档体现了复杂的修辞和表演的目的，并提出了一系列的挑战和可能性，档案工作者和研究人员。(For更详细的解释，请参阅随附的支持案例。）

This research examines the archival dimension of the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence. It combines two strands of interest: the practical challenges and opportunities of collecting the 'indyref' (evaluating and applying relevant archival principles and practices, notably those of digital collecting), and a series of research questions generated by collecting practice. These questions centre on the political significance of indyref 'self-archiving', whereby recording and curating signs of campaign activity was, itself, a core campaigning and network-building strategy. Thus artefacts of self-archiving embody complex rhetorical and performative aims, and present a range of challenges and possibilities to archivists and researchers.
