Abstract

This chapter examines civic community archiving through the Platform for Experimental Collaborative Ethnography (PECE). It discusses how digital platforms can support collaborative research and public knowledge production while confronting practical and ethical tensions around openness, participation, and sustainability. Drawing on case studies of environmental justice and community research projects, the authors analyze the “double binds” that emerge when designing infrastructures meant to support both scholarly and civic knowledge practices.
