Archieven zijn collecties documenten die voor historische en culturele doeleinden, en vanwege hun bewijskracht, bewaard worden. In die hoedanigheid behoren archieven in feite tot het verleden; het zijn plaatsen die sporen bevatten van het collectieve geheugen van een natie, een volk, of een groep mensen. Digitale archieven zijn veranderd van stabiele entiteiten naar flexibele systemen, die soms aangeduid worden met de term 'Living Archives'. Hoe heeft deze verandering onze relatie tot het ver...

Make Your City geeft een fascinerend beeld van twintig jaar pionieren in de stad, aangevuld met de lessen die daaruit te trekken zijn. In 1999 trok een bont gezelschap van skateboarders tot theatermakers en bijstandsmoeders in de toen verlaten scheepsbouwloods op de NDSM-werf in Amsterdam-Noord. Op eigen kracht ontwikkelden zij een toekomststrategie voor het gebouw en zijn omgeving: geen sloop maar herbestemming; een plek voor kleine maakindustrie en kunstenaars; geen tijdelijke invulling maa...

Less than 450 years ago, all European scholars believed that the Earth was at the centre of a Universe that was at most a few million miles in extent, and that the planets, sun, and stars all rotated around this centre. Less than 250 years ago, they believed that the Universe was created essentially in its present state about 6000 years ago. Even less than 150 years ago, the view that living species were the result of special creation by God was still dominant.

The recognition by Charles Darw...
