2016-2017
“Archive Alert” is an online platform that allows individuals, entities, groups, and organizations to report on archives and/or other cultural material which promotes cultural heritage (audiovisual material, maps, photographs, printed material, newspapers, posters, etc.). The users may report material they are in possession of, or material threatened by ignorance, negligence, or due to lack of expert human resources.
Archive Alert took third place in the "Best Use of Digital Humanities for Public Engagement" category of the International Digital Humanities Awards 2017.
The platform is developed and supported by the non-profit organization Arxeion Taxis. Since 2011, Arxeion Taxis has been preserving, archiving, documenting, and showcasing historical archives. The workshop for entrepreneurial culture Mataroa provides the platform with technical support. The John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation funded the project through the Foundation’s Scientific Associations Programme. The Archive Alert Website & Platform was launched in February 2017.
