“…There are similarities between migration and other life situations where the value of personal collections is assessed (e.g. inheriting a collection of a deceased family member, Krtali c et al, 2021). Similar is the feeling of overload and stress of managing many items in time and spaceconstrained circumstances.…”

PurposeThis paper explores personal collection management and use in the context of migration. The paper further investigates how migrants use items in personal collections to reflect their self-identity and learn about their heritage.Design/methodology/approachInterviews were used to collect data from 14 immigrants in New Zealand.FindingsFindings show how migrants perceive the value of their personal collections, manage their personal collections during migration and use their personal collections as instruments of identity formation, self-awareness, and connections to cultural heritage.Originality/valueInsights presented in this study increase an understanding of the critical role personal information plays in the migration and integration process.

“…Although the prototypes described here should be evaluated (e.g. for their efficacy and usability), demonstrating new approaches to GIM is important step forward because inadequate tools can prevent individuals from acclimating to new work places, finding information needed in daily life (Jones et al, 2017), maintaining and sharing their collections, and preserving them for future generations of family or society (Krtalić et al, 2021).…”

“…For individuals, collections contain a variety of everyday items such as private photos, family plans and finances, professional activities, and information reflecting many other of life’s activities and tasks (Dinneen & Julien, 2019; Jones et al, 2017; Krtalić & Ihejirika, 2022). Accumulated over years or a lifetime, these digital assets can have long‐term value for family members, and the collections of culturally significant people can also have value for society in the form of cultural heritage (Krtalić et al, 2021). But such collections also pose management challenges that entail various risks of loss (Digital Preservation Coalition, 2021; Krtalić & Dinneen, 2022).…”

Here we describe two approaches to improve group information management (GIM) and draw on the results of prior works to implement them in software prototypes. The first aids browsing and retrieving from large and unfamiliar collections like shared drives by dynamically reducing and re‐organising them. The second supports the transfer and re‐use of collections (e.g. to/by successors, descendants, or curators) by integrating novel sorting and annotation features. The prototypes' source code is shared online and screenshots are presented in the accompanying poster.

“…The latter is also compounded by the fact that memory institutions hardly have clear guidelines on how memory donors could donate their records. A study by Krtalić, Dinneen, Liew and Goulding (2021) related to Victoria University's Hidden Heritage project on personal collection organisation observed that individuals keen to donate their archival memories hardly have clear processes or clear information on how to donate their archival materials. This is not different from archival institutions in South Africa.…”

Golden bulb covered with a dark cloth: memories of undocumented athletes in South Africa

Sports in South Africa have evolved into an arena for self-discovery, a place of self-revelation. Through sports, particularly athletics, heroes emerged who not only achieved for themselves and their communities, but also served as golden bulbs, flickering lights of hope, inspiration, and motivation to the community. Despite the heroic roles played by athletes, sporting memories of unique and gallant characters remain self-stored, exposed to all natural disasters such as loss, rapid deterioration, inaccessibility, thus turning into golden bulbs covered in a black cloth. This qualitative study adopted oral testimony triangulated with content analysis to explore the memories of undocumented athletics heroes in South Africa. Snowball sampling was adopted to help locate historically excluded athletics heroes and sheroes. The study revealed that athletes' houses have been transformed into museums encompassing all of their running memories, displayed all over their living rooms, with only a few athletes overseeing forgotten historical memories of most legendary runners and, in some cases, without specialised handling, compounded by the fact that these archival memories are only accessible to those fortunate enough to be close to these legendary runners. The study recommends that these memories be included in the national archival system so that they can be accessed by the public, as a large portion of athletes' historical memories are unaccounted for and thus inaccessible.
