Collecting Alternative Memories: The Centre for Documenting Independent Culture

Using the example of the Centre for Documenting Independent Culture this paper seeks to explore community practice regarding value assessment, acquisition and different users’ needs in the field of independent culture, which is an aspect of cultural heritage stewardship that is not addressed by the official archive service in Croatia. The Centre is operated as one of the long-term projects of two Croatian NGOs: Kurziv-Platform for Matters of Culture, Media and Society and Association for promotion of cultures Kulturtreger. Since institutional boundaries are blurred and the Centre could be considered simultaneously an archival, museum and library project, its practices could indicate points of convergence of these types of institutions. The paper discusses possible methods for studying this community archive and understanding the influence of archival and museum theory and practice on their work.
